Arch Linux User Repository

I tried removing just -march=x86_64 and it was still broken, so I dropped it all. My patch as-is should treat all other architectures the same as before (it only changes the PKGBUILD for aarch64). Other architectures must have already been broken.

I don't have an aarch64 Arch machine to test on, but you should be able to keep everything but the -march=x86_64. Have you tested that these other flags (in particular -O2) break the build on aarch64? Also, your patch as-is breaks on everything that is not (aarch64 || x86_64). Really, the correct approach is to probably get the architecture with uname -r and use that as the argument to -march.

The CFLAGS workaround seems to break the build on aarch64. The following fixes it:

the package fails to build on my system. below is the error i get. its not telling me whats failing to build.

@markboston Hello, I prefer not doing it, as the PKGBUILD guidelines states you should include the dependencies for building all optional features of a package in "depends"

You are still free to manually download the PKGBUILD and edit it as you wish

can fluidsynth please be removed as a required dependency?

@mike.cuche Ohhh, thank you for the info, I did not know that. I installed tons of AUR packages (and updates) successfully in the past 6 months without even knowing about base-devel. Dosbox-x & other dosbox-packages are the first packages that are complaining. Really confusing...

@kq6up You seem to have the exact same problem as I do, since you get the same error as I did.

@Switch123456789 if you are building an AUR package, you need to have base-devel installed:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository#Getting_started

It seems like this package depends on autoconf & automake but I had to install it manually. I am new to arch, is this expected?

Another build fail. Maybe unlisted dependencies:
