Perhaps include debian patch files along with the PKGBUILD rather than point to the debian page? This would also solve the debian_version variable (which I dislike).

The Debian version is now 5.1.25-16, by the way.

I don't think following debian versioning is a good idea, because in this case we won't be able to bump pkgrel on our own (e.g. if we need to update dependencies list)

Debian links are broken. Debian version should be _debian_version="5.1.25-15". I've tested by changing this var and replacing the sha512sums with SKIP for now and it works fine.

Also, if Debian labels as 5.1.25-10, should the pkgrel here also be increased to 15?

I can confirm what @ahanlon found.

I tried adding '!lto' to the options array, and that seems to have cured it (at least based on just blindly running nm /usr/lib/libgrace_np.a and looking at the output).

With the latest version here, I am no longer able to successfully link to the static library file produced from this package. Specifically, there are undefined reference errors (e.g. undefined references to GraceClose). When I attempt to look at the symbols inside the static library, I get this output

> nm libgrace_np.a

grace_np.o:
nm: grace_np.o: plugin needed to handle lto object
0000000000000001 C __gnu_lto_slim

gracef_np.o:
0000000000000001 C __gnu_lto_slim

gracef_np_.o:
0000000000000001 C __gnu_lto_slim

which is much smaller than expected, and suggests that many things are missing. I've compared this to the old static library file produced (which contains all the needed objects).

Wow, it builds now. That was fast. Voting right now :-)

It fails to build. Meanwhile I'm using qtgrace...

A new patch is available on debian, it is like this one on macports: https://sources.debian.org/data/main/g/grace/1:5.1.25-14/debian/patches/configure-implicit-declarations.diff

This time I face an other error with T1lib :(

Not sure what to do, so I dozngrade -Wno-implicit-int errors to a warning with CFLAGS='-Wno-error=implicit-int' ( see gcc docs here) ... and it build and install successfully :)

This is a rapid hack to get grace working, as I urgently need it!

Please help to fix and keep this package working.

grace fails to build with
