Building AUR package fails

When building evolution-decsync package, the following error message occurs:

This error message also happens then I build it manually.

You also have to install libdecsync. You can do that from source, but there is also an AUR package available. Maybe @vasket can update the dependencies in the AUR package? Basically, the dependencies libgee, json-glib and vala can be removed, and json-c and libdecsync have to be added. If they don't want to maintain it anymore, please let us know. Then we can figure something out, although I am not that familiar with AUR.

Hello, I have seen the AUR pkgbuild of evolution-decsync and it is poorly made, I am familiar with the AUR and I can fix it (I have made an 'orphan request' meanwhile) but I'm not using either Evolution and DecSync so I'm not interested in long term maintainance

[FabioLolix]

I have got the pkgbuild and updated it

[theotheroracle]

ok so it's not currently working, but i don't think it's for the same reason, since libdecsync is installed as a depencency

should i make a new issue ?

EDIT: i think this is an issue with the aur package actually

[kannes]

That is because on Arch /etc/makepkg.conf includes -Werror=format-security in the CFLAGS. It would be nice if the warning was fixed in the plugin, I guess it is a potential security issue?

You can add this (default minus that Werror) in your PKGBUILD inside in the build function:

CFLAGS="-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fno-plt -fexceptions \
        -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wformat \
        -fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protection"

[FabioLolix]

Don't have time for this pkgbuild anymore, it has been orphaned and is up for grab

[theotheroracle]

alright, i'll work on it in a bit

[flortsch]

I took over the AUR package and updated it to 2.0.0, with the format string commit included as patch so that the package builds.

[theotheroracle]

awesome

[flortsch]

This can be closed.
