bug#42217: Build failure: kdenlive

[Jesse Gibbons]

Though I am working on this in a personal fork channel, I can confirm 
using time-machine that it is also an issue in guix's master branch.

Since the build system uses multiple threads, the log itself is a mess. 
Here's what it says when it fails.

Based on this, I know it's a problem in mediactrl.c related to the 
version of c the compiler is expecting. Here is what make calls when it 
compiles mediactrl.c:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I see --std=c99 and -std=gnu90 here. I'm guessing gcc favors std=-gnu90 
in this situation.

I have passed --keep-failed and searched for "gnu90" in the source, and 
only found it in the generated Makefiles. I also searched for gnu90 in 
the package definition, but I can't find it.

I have tried adding the following line to the list of arguments in the 
package definition, but it doesn't remove the -std=gnu90 option.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        #:configure-flags '("-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-std=c99")))

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What a puzzle.
