Your C compiler complains about identifiers called bool. Clearly that variable should have a different name, but this builds fine for me on Fedora 41 so I suspect Arch does something unexpected. Your build log says it’s x86_64-pc-linux-gnu which implies glibc, so that’s not it. Maybe the compiler isn’t GCC, or it’s configured with odd defaults.
Hi, @mikpe.

Thanks.
Confirmed, compiling OTP-25.3.2.21 with gcc-15.1 fails. That’s because erts: avoid use 'bool' keyword when compiling with lttng · erlang/otp@454128f · GitHub hasn’t been backported to the maint-25 branch yet. I tried it locally, the patch applies w/o issue and allows the build to succeed.

I think it also should also be possible to build using -std=gnu99.
That is by doing this: CFLAGS="-g -O2 -std=gnu99" asdf install erlang 25.3.2.21

Hi, @garazdawi.
I’ve tested it and it works.
Thanks.
