Adding to configure phase:

CFLAGS="-Wno-error=incompatible-pointer-types"

allows alpine to compile. I believe it is OK in this case to work around this, albeit optimally upstream should fix this in the code.

Confirm Wild_Penguin and cmcc as well.

Indeed does not compile here either, I get the same error as cmcc.

After upgrading gcc to version 14.1.1, it seems alpine doesn't compile anymore. Compilation stops when trying to compile adrbklib.c. The error I get is

@RAMChYLD, according to https://alpineapp.email/alpine/md5/maildir.html the patch was updated without changing the version of either the patch or the package.

I didn't notice the update, so the current PKGBUILD doesn't reflect the newest code. I'll update soon.

In the meantime, as long as the current SHA256SUM published by the author corresponds with the one of the file you've downloaded, I'd trust it.

@simona, sorry for not responding sooner. I cannot reproduce this, though.

Something's wrong with the maildir-2.26 patch

Can you please confirm that the patch is not tainted or corrupted in any way?

I added the additional architectures to the PKGBUILD, decided to stop delaying this until the next release. That's the only change, so those having a working 2.26 build, feel free to skip the update.

@msk, alpine builds for me in a clean chroot, using the PKGBUILD published here. Can you reproduce in a clean environment, with the PKGBUILD?
