Thanks @xuanruiqi, I've updated the PKGBUILD file

I recommend adding --threads after ./configure, which will compile in threading support that is useful to some people.

Glad to see this package updated. I can help maintain this package too.

I can successfully install version 9.5.2 using the following PKGBUILD file. Maintainers, please update the package?

pkgname='chez-scheme'
pkgver=9.5.2

_archivename=csv$pkgver


build() {
  cd "${srcdir}/${_archivename}"

  ./configure --installprefix=/usr --temproot=$pkgdir
}

package() {
  cd "${srcdir}/${_archivename}"
  make install DESTDIR="$pkgdir"
}

@jumper149 I wouldn't say this package isn't properly maintained. These issues seem to be prevalent with recent changes to GCC. To my thinking, we're attempting to compile software on a new GCC, software that was written without the new GCC warnings into account. We can't fault the maintainer of the AUR package.

But the software authors are fixing the issues, it seems. The new GCC warnings have been getting plenty of attention, it seems, as I searched for similar errors.

Thanks for pointing out the -git package. It compiles and runs smoothly.

Im having the same compilation error as @bwmcn. Is this package maintained properly or is it better to just go with the '-git' version? @bwmcn there is also the 'chez-scheme-git' which is compiling fine (needs to download 1 GB of repositories tho)

Getting a compilation failure. Searching for similar errors suggests that this is related to the new `warnings' produced by GCC. Any insights appreciated.
