In the interest of transparency, I am running EndeavourOS, i3WM.

I have been unable to build this package. Some of the explanations provided here are beyond my capacity, but I tried yay, paru, and makepkg several times.

The issue is in the src/grind directory.

This dictionary is an extremely important one, using dictd.

Hey @S0AndS0,

I couldn't reproduce your issue; it builds successfully with no errors or issues. I don't use yay any more, however.

Can you, please, try to build the PKGBUILD manually with makepkg?

When doing so, do clean the source files of the PKGBUILD fetched from your previous effort to build the package (usually in a directory called src and managed with the SRCDEST variable of makepkg) and also use makepkg -C (-C flag) for a clean build.

Getting install errors as of 2025-05-01 with the following output from yay;

... Seems up-stream may have changed the type sig. for hash function.

Hi simonzack,

sorry for the late reply; fixed.

The grind make command needs to be updated:

make -j1 'CFLAGS=-Wno-implicit-function-declaration -Wno-int-conversion -Wno-implicit-int' -C src/grind/ grind

Sorry for the noise!

IMO there was some problem with my AUR helper: paru. But now I have removed it as now I only have 4 AUR packages.

Thank you for quick response.

Hi utkarsh,

unfortunately, I cannot reproduce your issue.

Please try building in a clean chroot.

Hi @respiranto,

First of all, thank you for maintaining this package.

Even using 'makepkg -C' gives the following error:

cc1: fatal error: grind-wnlex.c: No such file or directory

Building works here. Please try `makepkg -C' to clean remnants of old builds.
