[SOLVED] error compiling nomacs for -current

Since my install is far from "clean" (multilib among other things) I post in a new thread and not in "SBo scripts not building on -current":

nomacs broke after last opencv upgrade. Trying rebuilding using ponce's latest script fails with

Code:[ 43%] Linking CXX shared library libnomacsCore.so
