I had hoped that there would be some alternative to requiring Git LFS. However, given how many months have passed, it seems that this is going to be a permanent requirement for building going forwards from the Blender development team. So, I have accepted the patch of @sausix and have only modified it in that I added a dependency to makepkg-git-lfs-proto which you need for makepkg to understand git-lfs protocol.

As usual, if you have trouble building remember Blender is a fast moving project. If no comment helps, rewind the Git repository to the version we last advertised as building with the PKGBUILD.

Opencollada removed from optdepends, patch removed.

@fbrennan Thank you to continue my efforts.
Forgot to mention that opencollada support has been dropped in 5.0. It's not being referenced during configure. And here's a note about the removal: https://devtalk.blender.org/t/moving-collada-i-o-to-legacy-status/34621/79

Is the github patch still required? I don't get where it's being used.

I think I fixed it.
https://gist.github.com/sausix/2df9897832aa9ecb04b77ccfe8cc0056

Changes:
- Optix 9.0.0 is not compatible yet. What a luck @bartus made the optix8 package! Thanks!
- Blender's minimal optix version recently changed from 7.4.0 to 8.0.0.
- github mirror is broken. LFS related problems. Big discussion. So sources are using official Blender git including LFS.
- gcc11 and gcc12 are slow to compile from AUR. gcc12 is recommended by Blender. But gcc14 is fine for Cuda. Let's give it a try.
- Some compile flags are on by default so explicit "=OFF" was added for OneAPI and HIP.
- Python 3.12 -> 3.13

When launch the Blender:

[dv@manjaro blender-git]$ blender-git 
blender-git: error while loading shared libraries: libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Blender changed to use git-lfs. I tried changing to blender::git-lfs+https://github.com/blender/blender${_fragment} and it downloads some objects but still misses a bunch of files. Tried clean build and waited some days for upstream related errors.

Just noticed a simple "git clone" and "git lfs clone" in the shell fails already. Must be some github mirroring problem?

Changing the first source to blender::git-lfs+https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender${_fragment} solves the problem currently.

Here's recent discussion about the github mirror but no sign of a fail on a pure clone action: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/137215
I've commented there.

The build now still fails on optix.

Also the PKGBUILD needs to be updated for python 3.13

Ran into the same problem as expresso. I installed mold, and passed -DCMAKE_LINKER_TYPE=mold in the cmake flags. I also disabled opencollada with -DWITH_OPENCOLLADA=false

It would be nice if the Vega architecture could be reenabled in this build.

-z pack-relative-relocs unsupported by ld.gold (sometimes picked as LD).

As a workaround, I stuck this at the top of my build() function in PKGBUILD: LDFLAGS=${LDFLAGS/-Wl,-z,pack-relative-relocs}
