(Solved) Faulty AUR packages for linuxcnc and linuxcnc-sim for arch linux

Hello experts,
anyone out there who could manage to install linuxcnc on arch linux? Both package builts in the AUR are not working. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

That's like saying "my car doesn't work".

So my first suggestion would be to properly describe the issues.

Or either use one of the Live Debian or Live Mint ISOs for a super quick & easy install.

Thanks a lot for your reply. It was not intended to bother someone with AUR maintainance, because it seemed off-topic in this forum. The idea was to check if someone could manage to make linuxCNC run on Arch. But for a more profound reply:

The final massage of makepkg is:

Linking classicladder
/usr/bin/ld: objects/hal/classicladder/files_project.o:/home/"name"/AUR/linuxcnc/linuxcnc-sim/src/linuxcnc/src/hal/classicladder/files_project.c:159: multiple definition of `FileName'; objects/hal/classicladder/files.o:/home/"name"/AUR/linuxcnc/linuxcnc-sim/src/linuxcnc/src/hal/classicladder/files.c:1298: first defined here
collect2: error: ld returned 1 as end status
make: *** [hal/classicladder/Submakefile:49: ../bin/classicladder] error 1
==> ERROR: An error occured in build().
canceled...

Maybe you can find something that helps here :

Thanks, but no, basic research has already been done without success prior to the initial question.

It seems that you are building 2.7. (as that line is 163 in 2.8 and Master) github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/2.7/sr...files_project.c#L159

objects/hal/classicladder/files.o:/home/"name"/AUR/linuxcnc/linuxcnc-sim/src/linuxcnc/src/hal/classicladder/files.c:1298: first defined here

github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/2.7/sr...ladder/files.c#L1298

So, it's not wrong.....
This (apparently) is one way to create a global variable, but not a good way. It seems to work with the compilers that LinuxCNC uses, though. Do you know which compiler you are using?
I am not clear if LinuxCNC built on Debian creates two separate variables in this situation, or creates a limited-scope global.
I think it is untidy and should be fixed....

My first suggestion would be to have a single declaration in file.h, but I will ask the proper programmers on the developers list for advice.

This has been fixed in the latest linuxcnc.
Apparently it is only a problem with GCC 10+

github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/pull/827

The AUR package maintainer uploaded an upgrade. Makepkg now works without error messages and results in an installable package. Thanks a lot to everybody. Could this thread be marked as fixed?

Link to working packages ?
