after last update I have error while building ros-noetic-realtime-tools:

Just to make sure can you run 'yay -Syu ros-noetic-realtime-tools --rebuildtree'?

[hadogenes]

I always build from scratch - I use jenkins and have minimal docker image.
One thing I'm building for manjaro, so some packages can be outdated to arch.

[acxz]

ah thats probably why then can you check what version of the gtest package you are on?

Edit just checked, Manjaro is using an older gtest version: 1.8.1, while Arch is on gtest 1.10.0

I recommend using an Arch repo compatible distro, such as EndeavourOS which we do support instead of an Arch based one like Manjaro.
If the reason you choose Manjaro over Arch because of the GUI installer, dont worry EndeavourOS also has a GUI installer.

The patch has been released in the latest version 0.8.7. Closing this issue.

I confirm it was due to gtest version. After updating to v1.10, it builds correctly.
PS I've used gentoo before, so the lack of an installer doesn't scare me. I want a bit more stability than arch.

Glad to hear it works!

Well as you just experienced you won't find stability with the AUR ROS packages and Manjaro repos.
