Password Safe fails to build with latest Freedesktop Runtime

1

I am looking into this issue reported upstream and I can reproduce the issue:

  • Password Safe builds successfully with Freedesktop Runtime 23.08
  • Password Safe fails to builds with Freedesktop Runtime 25.08

I have uploaded file to: LimeWire: Share Files - Secure File Upload Platform

Download zip file and decompress:

  • directory “works_fine” are files to create flatpak that works fine
  • directory “fails” are files that fail to build

in both cases manifest files are the same except of Freedesktop Runtime version. In bot cases from each of directory I run ./make.sh file. For second “fail” case I have outputted all of the terminal output to file: “case compile_runtime_25_08.txt” where is actual compile error.

Any idea why program fails to compile with latest runtime but it compiles just file with 23.08 version?

I have contacted Password Safe developer that also does not know what the issue is. But he will read this forum and cooperate.

The best sources are usually all other projects (Code search results · GitHub) or other distributions (e.g. Arch Linux has a simple build file).

I don’t know what exactly triggers the issue but there seems to be an issue with the CMake file of xerces-c.
