Build and test failures with git master
by Simon Josefsson 11 Mar '26

11 Mar '26

Hi! The current release is from 2013, do you think it is time for another release? I'm looking into reviving the lsh-utils package in Debian to see if it can be made to work in a modern environment. While doing so I wanted to build git master so that I can bisect things to see if I can find upstream commits that fixes known issues in version 2.1. However, it seems -Wincompatible-pointer-types is now a fatal error in some GCC configurations (I'm using one derived from Debian gcc in trixie), so building git master failed for me: lsftp.c:179:17: error: passing argument 1 of ‘do_gnu_stuff’ from incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types] Building with `make CC=-Wno-error=incompatible-pointer-types` is a workaround, but would be better if you could patch the code? Thanks, /Simon

by Roman Riabenko 02 Mar '26

Hello! It loooks like the realeased version of LSH 2.1 does not build with Nettle 3 or versions of readline after 6.2. Debian used to maintain patches for that. Are there any plans to release a newer LSH version, which could be built with Nettle 3 and newer readline? Thank you for developing LSH! Roman
