why is this package flagged as out-of-date?

The pkgver should be corrected to (ver).r(revision_number).(hash) as per standards; see the wiki for more info:

The revision number delimiter ("r" right before REVISION) is important. This delimiter allows to avoid problems in case if upstream decides to make its first release or uses versions with different number of components. E.g. if at revision "455" upstream decides to release version 0.1 then the revision delimiter preserves version monotonicity - 0.1.r456 > r454. Without the delimiter monotonicity fails - 0.1.456 < 454.

see /usr/share/pacman/PKGBUILD-vcs.proto for an example:

 printf "%s" "$(git describe --long | sed 's/\([^-]*-\)g/r\1/;s/-/./g')"

Also, any custom variable (like reponame) should be prefixed with _

I can't reproduce this on my end. Compiled in a chroot and also with out chroot. No issues. Maybe it was a upstream issue and got fixed.

New problem:

99% tests passed, 1 tests failed out of 270  Total Test time (real) =  31.80 sec  The following tests did not run:     161 - x86_64-pack-dyn-relocs-relr (Skipped)  The following tests FAILED:     226 - x86_64-tlsdesc-static (Failed) Errors while running CTest

Interesting: When I run the build process step by step as instructed on https://github.com/rui314/mold#compile-mold, and then run ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure on the build directory created there, the tests all pass.

Actually the "compile options" you posted is a possibility.

To the compiler:

You may need to pass a C++20 compiler command name to make. In the above case, clang++ is passed. If it doesn't work for you, try a specific version of a compiler such as g++-10 or clang++-12.

to system TBB:

Arch did updated tbb with the patch which where requested from rui. So we can easily use the SYSTEM_TBB again.

to "j$nproc :

I dont see any profit in adding these, cause everyone can set himself in his used cpu's.

to tests:

Will fix that.

Looks like the check() section in PKGBUILD has become obsolete as the target check was removed from the mold Makefile.

Plus, a lot of warnings can be avoided if the compile options are set as instructed at https://github.com/rui314/mold#readme .

build() {     make \         -C "$reponame" \          -j$(nproc) CXX=clang++ \         PREFIX=/usr \         LTO=1 \         SYSTEM_MIMALLOC=1 }

DAC324 commented on 2022-06-24 11:01 (UTC)

The package currently does not build:

make: Leaving directory '/opt/.cache/yay/mold-git/src/mold' ==> Starting check()... make: *** No rule to make target 'check'.  Stop. ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in check().     Aborting...  -> error making: mold-git

@bin Thanks for giving me co-maintainer, since I use this linker quite often. I did updated it to the latest changes.
