Currently doesn't build because the SHA256 checksum for the v0.81.0 release tarball doesn't match.

Annoyingly, build hates -Os now.

meson.build:155:8: ERROR: Problem encountered: 

 Overriding CXXFLAGS with the size-optimization flag, "-Os", when
 performing a release build with GCC produces a binary that hangs.
 Use the "minsize" buildtype instead.

Doesn't even mention which version of gcc, or which target. And fails the build. Sigh.

"zlib-ng" has to be added to depends. Archlinux: confirming it builds.

@harmathy thanks, zlib-ng added to makedepends solves my issue.

@FredBezies zlib-ng has to be added to depends, not makedepends. Otherwise:

dosbox: error while loading shared libraries: libz-ng.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

@jakedane building with zlib-ng also fixes the issue with libpng.

1:0.81.0-1 builds successfully but it can't be installed:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
dosbox-staging: /usr/include/libpng16/png.h exists in filesystem (owned by libpng)
dosbox-staging: /usr/include/libpng16/pngconf.h exists in filesystem (owned by libpng)
dosbox-staging: /usr/include/libpng16/pnglibconf.h exists in filesystem (owned by libpng)
dosbox-staging: /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libpng.pc exists in filesystem (owned by libpng)
dosbox-staging: /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libpng16.pc exists in filesystem (owned by libpng)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I tried recompiling with libpng:default_library=shared added to meson setup but that doesn't make a difference. Any clue how I can make it use the system libpng and not build its own?

Please add zlib-ng to makedepends.

@silverhikari Please readd speexdsp, libslirp, fluidsynth and munt as direct dependencies. Dependencies that are available in the repos (or have a well maintained package in the AUR) should generally be used instead of having the build system download its own version.

Currently this further causes the problem that when built in a clean environment like for the package in the chaotic-aur repo the speexdsp subproject adds its include and pkgconfig files to the built package, causing file conflicts on installation when speexdsp is already installed.
