Hello, this package currently has some problems.

  1. Does not have git as a make depend
  2. Uses an unnecessary and incorrect replace(). Replace is only meant to forcefully replace old versions of software with new one. It is not meant for software that is providing an alternative, like a compatability layer while the original SDL2 is around.
  3. Cmake build type needs to be set to None to respect Arch Linux build flags in /etc/makepkg.conf. Read more on the wiki for Cmake packages.

I am the maintainer for lib32-sdl3-git, lib32-sdl2-compat-git, and (co-maintainer) for sdl3-git. I would not mind being a co-maintainer for this as well.

Here is the patch:
