You need to report it upstream, that's the philosophy of Arch Linux, add compilation error here (package-git), for upstream code problem is useless.

It seems that directfb2 related libraries uses some old, deprectaed, API of the ffmpeg library. Unfortunately, ffmpeg did drop those API in the latest versions (which was to be expected), which makes directfb2 not compiling against it anymore :/

You need to add the following or similar to build(): 

  _CFLAGSADDITIONS="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration"
  CFLAGS+=" ${_CFLAGSADDITIONS}"
  CXXFLAGS+=" ${_CFLAGSADDITIONS}"
  export CFLAGS
  export CXXFLAGS

in order to work around build errors like 

../src/mkdfvff.c:353:20: error: implicit declaration of function ?avcodec_open2?; did you mean ?avio_open2?? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
  353 |                if (avcodec_open2( fmt_ctx->streams[0]->codec,
      |                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
      |                    avio_open2

Also, please add provides=("directfb2-tools") and conflicts=("directfb2-tools").

Regards and thanks for the package!
