[solved] zbar-qt build error

zbar-qt gives this error

libtool: compile:  gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I./include -I./zbar -I./include -Wall -Wno-parentheses -march=native -mtune=native -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -MT zbar/zbar_libzbar_la-scanner.lo -MD -MP -MF zbar/.deps/zbar_libzbar_la-scanner.Tpo -c zbar/scanner.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o zbar/.libs/zbar_libzbar_la-scanner.o

There is already a comment on the AUR site, but no solution, yet.

My programming skills are not very good, so i'm not able to solve it on my own.

Re: [solved] zbar-qt build error

A user in the german forums figured out it compiles using just configure and make,

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/zbar/0.10/zbar-0.10.tar.bz2
tar xf zbar-0.10.tar.bz2 
cd zbar-0.10
sed -i 's|linux/videodev.h|libv4l1-videodev.h|g' zbar/video/v4l1.c include/config.h.in configure.ac configure
./configure --prefix=/usr --without-gtk --without-python
make

but fails using a PKGBUILD and makepkg
https://bbs.archlinux.de/viewtopic.php?id=22634

EDIT:
seems CFLAGS in makepkg.conf are the problem, adding

export CFLAGS=""

before the ./configure line in PKGBUILD fix it.
