Wayfire failed to build from source in AUR

[leandrocunha526]

In the AUR it is not possible to rebuild and I am still checking the possible causes for this since I am just getting to know this software. See the log below.

The same problem occurs when trying wayfire-git as well which is having issues with the build.

This seems like a system or compiler problem. Does it happen to work with -Dtests=disabled?

This solves it, but it would be interesting to fix the code to compile on the latest versions of the compiler in question.
It serves as a momentary solution.

I notice that the build output indicates using link time optimizations. I tested building wayfire with -Db_lto=true locally and the build succeeded with tests enabled and -flto=auto using g++ 13.3.0 on x86_64. I'm not sure if this is related to the problem, but does it help if you try -Db_lto=false instead of disabling tests? What compiler and version are you using? Is the target x86_64 or aarch64?

I detected problems with link-time optimization (LTO) before and sorry for not warning. But it would be an x86_64 machine and I even looked into that in the makepkg settings.
But I want to continue analyzing this problem in time.
