Remember: You are expected to have the base-devel metapackage installed before using the AUR.

A note that, per Aseprite's EULA, binaries created by this PKGBUILD CANNOT BE DISTRIBUTED.

I will comply with any upstream requests to remove this package.

Big thanks to ISSOtm for rewriting the PKGBUILD!

@lazerbeak Cannot reproduce, have you tried https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot ?

Having issues building this.

The full error message was mostly comprised of multiple screen-heights of "undefined reference to"s which are almost certainly cascaded from whatever the actual issue is.

Here's the first little bit, I hope its helpful.

My bad, I didn't expect CMake to prefer the LLVM tools over Binutils and for this to be cached. I see you're already pinning ar to the non-llvm version elsewhere in the PKGBUILD, but this doesn't seem to take effect here.

May I ask you to specify ar and ranlib specifically for CMake like this?

-DCMAKE_AR=$(command -v ar) -DCMAKE_RANLIB=$(command -v ranlib)

It wouldn't change anything about building in a clean chroot, but could help users who are building in an environment with LLVM.

Missing llvm as make dependency:

@ZeekRClark fixed in 1.3.17-3

Getting the following error:

@starwort fixed with 1.3.17-2, thanks!

I would debug it further but it's just gone midnight so I'd rather go to bed :)

Upgrade to cmark 0.31.2 breaks aseprite 1.3.16.1. Downgrading cmark to 0.31.1 seems to solve the issue.
