As a temporary workaround to be able to build it, you can add the line autoreconf -f to the PKGBUILD file after cd $pkgname-$pkgver

I'm having the same error as @cberg, and the version of automake currently in the 'core' repo is 1.17, so a version might need to get bumped up somewhere?

cberg: automake (currently version 1.16) is part of base-devel, so should not need to add this.

Btw. after 0.8.1 we will drop autotools upstream alltogether, with only CMake remaining, so this package will get a revision later.

When trying to build it, I get the following message:

 cd . && /bin/sh /home/shared/makepkg/easyrpg-player/src/easyrpg-player-0.8/builds/autoconf/aux/missing automake-1.16 --foreign Makefile
/home/shared/makepkg/easyrpg-player/src/easyrpg-player-0.8/builds/autoconf/aux/missing: line 81: automake-1.16: command not found
WARNING: 'automake-1.16' is missing on your system.
         You should only need it if you modified 'Makefile.am' or
         'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
         The 'automake' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
         <https://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
         It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
         <https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf>
         <https://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
         <https://www.perl.org/>
make: *** [Makefile:1595: Makefile.in] Error 127

The PKGBUILD should specify these requirements as build time requirements. I think, this is due to applied patch modifying Makefile.am. I guess, an alternative is switching from autotools to cmake.

Edit: resolved by rebuild liblcf

v0.8 came out at 2023.04.29. Please update this package.

Iron_Squid: fmt has been updated. You are expected to do necessary rebuilds yourself for AUR packages.

On a current system, easyrpg-player will not start if fmt libraries have been replaced.

@carstene1ns

You are right. I apologize! Shame on my head...
