Compilation issues under Archlinux using cmake

[kbipinkumar]

i am trying to package mashmap for Archlinux distribution. using the compiling instruction with recommended cmake command as below,

$ cmake -B build \
        -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE='Release' \
        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX='/usr' \
        -Wno-dev
$ cmake --build build

while running aforementioned command the compilation is failing with following error

-- The C compiler identification is GNU 13.1.1
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 13.1.1
-- Detecting C compiler ABI info

could someone take a look and tell what could be the issue?

Hi @kbipinkumar

Thanks for opening this issue! Seems like GNU 13 catches a missing #include when GNU 11 does not. I've fixed this case, but there still may be more. I'm in the process of updating our servers so that I can check with GNU 12 and 13 as well. Thanks again for letting us know about this.
