Build failed installing UIM from AUR

General system Newbie

Hello! I tried to install the UIM package from the AUR using yay, and it returns a build() failed with this error https://pastebin.com/apX8E8Dt , I tried copying the github repr and doing makepkg, but that didn’t work either and it returned the same error. What should i do?

Thanks in advance

The issue has been explained in the comments for that AUR package. There’s also some offered workarounds.

The bug from the AUR comment was already fixed some time ago. This is something else.

The AUR package hasn’t been updated since 28 Jan this year.

@Rika343’s error:

Copy/pasted from the AUR comment from 12 May this year.

Advice given by phenylshima in the AUR comment regarding this VA_COPY error.

The root cause of VA_COPY error looks like uim’s “broken snprintf” checking, which mistakes gcc 14.x’s implicit function warning as “broken snprintf”. This issue seems to have been fixed in uim#187, but the fix is not released yet. https://github.com/uim/uim/pull/187

In my environment, downgrading gcc to 13.x fixed the problem. Alternatively, passing CFLAGS="-Wno-implicit-function-declaration" to ./configure also seems to fix the issue.

Thank you! That fixed my issue. I am sorry, I completely missed that :sweat_smile:
