I made a PKGBUILD that does what @jeancf suggested without needing a separate aseprite-skia-git package. I have a diff at https://hastebin.com/otehapasov if anyone wants to check it out
Also it looks like libwebp is statically linked so it's not needed as a dependency.
EDIT: Looks like hastebin is down...? I've posted it at https://paste.ee/p/p7uiM if so.
the AUR package aseprite-git builds the aseprite dependency, compiles fine and runs. maybe this package can use the same method.
@jusw85 the ticket that dacap is tracking for skia stuff is here https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/issues/139 I recently added a comment about trying to get it to compile for arch
I wasn't able to build with a current version of skia, in case anyone's thinking of fixing the current skia-git to build aseprite with. Even though aseprite-skia is only six months old, there are too many backward compatibility breaking changes. Some of them can be trivially hacked around e.g. patching os/CMakeLists.txt in laf to point to new SKCMS location, adding base directory for includes, but APIs have been wholesale changed or removed
All right I suck at making PKGBUILD files but I made a real quick and dirty aseprite-skia-git and then altered the current PKGBUILD for aseprite to use the following
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo \
-DLAF_OS_BACKEND=skia \
-DSKIA_DIR=/usr/src/aseprite-skia/ \
-DSKIA_OUT_DIR=/usr/lib \
Here is my glorious mess https://gist.github.com/warmwaffles/4f600d764d659d9302e7da85768aa2b0
After I ran the PKGBUILD.aseprite-skia-git and added those defines, it runs fine for me.
The AUR skia-git currently fails to compile for me. Aseprite also requires some of the source code from skia as well. This dependency is a pain in the ass to build, and it won't be going away and will be required from here on out.
I'm getting the same error as @grevius. I'm going to checkout the older version of the PKGBUILD until something is figured out. I'm sure that separate fork of skia is gonna be a pain. You could make a new package aseprite-skia and add it as a dep here. Just seems like a PITA.
@grevius I successfully compiled and built it manually. I had to use a custom skia provided by aseprite at https://github.com/aseprite/skia. The PKGBUILD provided here won't work with skia until it's updated. I'm not sure if the latest aseprite can work without skia.
after the update for the version 1.2.12-2 i can't open aseprite and i have the following error: Unable to create a user-interface display. Details: Unknown error Error initializing module: gui Error initializing module: gui
Hey sorry I pushed the update to 1.2.12 because I thought I had it working but it turns out it was an older version of aseprite. I tried a lot of things to get the new version to compile compile with skia (the new dependency that broke this package in newer versions). If there's a way to roll back to an older version until I get this figured out please tell me.

Remember: You are expected to have the
base-develmetapackage installed before using the AUR.ImperatorStorm commented on 2022-08-06 04:31 (UTC)
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!
