@cudiph that makes total sense, thanks for pointing it out 👍

@nuc rom the arch wiki:

Packages in the AUR assume that base-devel is installed in the build environment.

gcc and make are included in base-devel package, so it doesn't need to get added.

On my system build a failed with:

meson.build:1:0: ERROR: Unknown compiler(s): [['cc'], ['gcc'], ['clang'], ['nvc'], ['pgcc'], ['icc'], ['icx']]
The following exception(s) were encountered:
Running `cc --version` gave "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'cc'"

A full log can be found at /home/user/.cache/yay/cwc/src/cwcwm-0.4.0/build/meson-logs/meson-log.txt
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

 -> error making: cwc-exit status 4

After installing gcc it worked. It needs to be added as build dep (or clang if I read correctly, not sure what's preferred).

Thereafter I was still getting:

/home/user/.cache/yay/cwc/PKGBUILD: line 60: make: command not found
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().
    Aborting...

In installing make fixed it. It shoull be added as build dep as well.
