[SOLVED] transmission remote gui svn will not build

Question

This is what I get when trying to compile from AUR:

This also happens with some arbitrary svn versions 519,410 and 300. I've also posted here:

Answer 1

Finally! Lazarus 0.9.28 easily compiled from source manually. And install fpc 2.4.0 from ARM. Then I had to edit the PKGBUILD and delete 'lazarus' as dependency since it otherwise wuold install 0.9.30 again.. . Violá! Compiled and really seems to be working. One problem was that lazarus 0.9.28 wasn't in the ARM.
EDIT; instructions;
Download lazarus 0.9.28: http://mirrors.iwi.me/lazarus/releases/ … rc.tar.bz2
fpc 2.4.0: http://arm.konnichi.com/community/os/i6 … pkg.tar.gz
Uninstall any previuos fpc and lazarus
Install downloaded fpc (pacman -U fpc-2.4.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz)
Unpack compile and install lazarus (make clean all, make install)
Begin install transgui - yaourt -S transmission-remote-gui-svn - during install edit PKGBUILD and delete the makedepends 'lazarus'. Continue build. Should be ok.
Maybe it's possible to do a PKGBUILD on lasarus 0.9.28, and an alernative  one for transgui but it's a bit over my horizon.
