Can't build. Can anybody please help?

Those are in 'base-devel' and are implied to be available to all arch packages.

Missing build dependencies autoconf and automake.

PedroHLC commented on 2019-08-10 22:59 (UTC)

Missing dosbox-file-utils as makedep (otherwise fails with desktop-file-install not found)

The shortcut should have:

Exec=dosbox %f

MimeType=application/x-ms-dos-executable

@Vaporeon: That worked, thank you! Appreciate your work.

Vaporeon commented on 2019-01-05 22:53 (UTC)

Just run makepkg again, vcs packages on the AUR always pull the latest source.
