Hi,
To reproduce: guix build htmlcxx — it blocks several dependents.
The relevant part of the error:
In file included from CharsetConverter.cc:5:
CharsetConverter.h:20:90: error: ISO C++17 does not allow dynamic exception specifications
20 | CharsetConverter(const std::string &from, const std::string &to) throw (Exception);
These were deprecated in C++11 and removed in C++17: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2016/p0003r5.html
So this may just need compiler parameters to set C++11 instead of C++17
as target.
A first step towards the fix might be
diff --git a/gnu/packages/web.scm b/gnu/packages/web.scm
