Seems to be an issue 773 with air 1.62.0

Build of 1.62.0 fails with

❯ makepkg

If I enable CGO, I get:

I'm still getting a bunch of Permission denied errors during Cleanup on install or when upgrading/reinstalling using yay. So I still have to manually remove the cache directory as root every time. The build command seems fine to me though so not sure why it happens.

The installation also fails for me because of ${LDFLAGS} in -extldflags ${LDFLAGS} not having quotes around it, as my LDFLAGS contains spaces. Changing it to -extldflags \"${LDFLAGS}\" fixes it.

Thanks, now is fixed.

Thanks for maintaining this package.

I think on the latest update the commit ID didn't get changed and still points to 1.52.2. I think it should be 6b61fa9. Also I think the github repo has changed to air-verse/air.

Lastly I've noticed when updating I need to manually remove the cache as root before upgrading as the files in ~/.cache/yay/air/src/gopath/mod/github.co/... don't have write permissions enabled. I'm not sure where this issue arises in the build process.
