Makepkg fails with nethack-qt

Question

Hi. I'm new to Arch Linux (just installed it a few days ago; I had been using Kubuntu for some years now), and so I'm also new to AUR. If this isn't the place to post this, please accept my apologies and redirect me to the right place.
As per the guidelines, to install this package I downloaded the PKGBUILD, the nethack-qt.desktop file and the nethack-qt.patch file. Then I ran makepkg.
It fails. The last lines from the output are:
cc -O -I../include -c ../win/X11/winval.c

Abortando...
So, how can I do to install nethack-qt? Am I doing something wrong (or haven't I done something I should have) or is it a problem with the package? If so, shouldn't it be fixed?
Thank you for any help.

Answer 1

Ok!! So, after retrying several times and trying different things I found out how to do it.
Here was the solution, I had seen it since the beginning but didn't know how to apply it (since as I already stated I'm no AUR guru).
Anyway, here's how:
Download the PKGBUILD, the nethack-qt.desktop file, the nethack-qt.patch and nethack-343-src.tgz. Extract the last file, edit /sys/Unix/Makefile.src and "add D__CORRECT_ISO_CPP_STRINGS_H_PROTO to CFLAGS" as elvaka said on AUR. Now, retar the file with the same name, nethack-343-src.tgz .
If we makepkg now, it will fail because of the integrity test. Here's how to bypass it:
Edit the PKGBUILD, comment the three md5sums lines as here:
# md5sums=('21479c95990eefe7650df582426457f9'
#         'f8a168c25ad704fb79e9180275528059'
#     '6a426c8f1c2763fcbed05bb1222a584a')
and now we use makepkg like this: "makepkg --skipinteg". That should do it. Now just "pacman -U nethack-qt-3.4.3-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz", and that should be it.
Cheers
