This no longer compiles. Same issue as the comment below by "AkechiShiro". I've tried editing the PKGBUILD file so we cd into "edk2" rather than "edk2-git" but no luck due to patches not being able to apply (I don't think the patch "edk2-git-202102-brotli-1.0.9.patch" is required anymore?).
I've had more success compiling by hand.
Hi,
At the moment, the build fails with this error :

Maybe due to upstream changes ?
Great news, markzz! Looking forward to an updated build.
My rant below boils down to what the package provides. At time of writing, it only provided 2 files, OVMF_CODE.fd and OVMF_VARS.fd.
That isn't super-useful; what would be, is a single merged firmware file OVMF.fd ready to boot into QEMU with no fuzz.
Soon I'll be uploading an edk2-git set of packages that will replace this one. It should address some of the concerns below this comment.
realkstrawn93: This was due to edk2 being incompatible with Arch's version of brotli, which should be fixed in the new pkgbase.
Also, ulidtko, I never cared what every whatever thing on the internet says, you need to use your own brain. I know for a fact that this package worked back when it built properly. :)
Getting the following build failure:
brotli/c/dec/decode.c:2034:14: error: argument 4 of type ‘uint8_t ’ {aka ‘unsigned char ’} declared as a pointer [-Werror=vla-parameter]
My guess is that it's an upstream bug, but it's a showstopper nonetheless.
Can you please fix this so that it produces a single OVMF.fd file? Not (only) a pair of ovmf_{code,vars}_x64.bin like it does now.
Every damn readme, wiki, gist & blogpost says basically "just pass -bios /path/to/OVMF.fd & bob's your uncle, qemu runs uefi". Well. No such thing here.
I guess it's something extremely trivial, prolly just concatenation of two files (in the right order) -- but, all these .fdf & .dsc & obscure build workspaces and whatnot are extremely confusing. I don't need to learn all this to simply test if my usb stick will boot. A single ready-to-use file would help a lot.
For now, I've uninstalled this package and switched to extra/edk2-ovmf instead. It does provide both OVMF_CODE.fd and OVMF_VARS.fd -- but also a single OVMF.fd which Simply Works with Qemu.
Since this conflicts with extra/ovmf, it would be nice if it deposited the files in the same location so that I didn't have to modify my qemu config. A Simple symbolic link could do the trick, or installation to both locations?

Hmm... The upstream URL points to something that says: "Whoops, we can't find that page"... I'm a bit confused about which of these packages to use for my virtual (Windows 10) machine:
aur/edk2-ovmf 20180815-1 (+9 0.01%) (Out-of-date 2019-05-23)
EDK2 ovmf firmware from Fedora 29 rpm
aur/ovmf-git 1:r25361.514c55c185-1 (+31 0.00%) (Installed: 1:r25460.83463154af-1)
Tianocore UEFI firmware for qemu.
extra/ovmf 1:r25737.89910a39dc-1 (1.3 MiB 2.0 MiB)
Tianocore UEFI firmware for qemu.
I previously used aur/edk2-ovmf, but now it says out-of-date since about a month ago, so I'm wondering if I should just use ovmf-git and if that's safe (I have the impression that extra/ovmf is too old)...? Anyway, I would have no doubts continuing to use edk2-ovmf, if it wasn't flagged as out-of-date, for the past month...
markzz: thank you very much :)
JuniorJPDJ: Updated to fix this. In the future, if there's an issue with the build like this, please flag the PKGBUILD as out-of-date so that it will be apparent when I log into the AUR interface.
@assimilat thanks, it fixes build for me
@markzz can you add this to PKGBUILD?
JuniorJPDJ- fixed the "error 000E: File/directory not found in workspace" error by adding this to the end of the prepare funct:
cd "${srcdir}/edk2"
git submodule update --init --recursive
The package stopped building for me a while ago.
The error I'm getting:

HCF: You don't need it. Read the wiki.
I redid the PKGBUILD to closely resemble the one on the official repositories. The only change is the branch. This is why the directories changed and the ovmf_x64.bin file is no longer packaged. If you want the file back, you can modify the PKGBUILD to your liking.
The newest commit doesn't work without modifications.
FYI: Paths have changed from '/usr/share/ovmf/x64/' to '/usr/share/ovmf/'
==========
Problem: ovmf_x64.bin is not specified in PKGBUILD and thus does not get installed/compiled
Solution: Add 'install -D -m644 "${srcdir}"/edk2/Build/OvmfX64/RELEASE_${_toolchain_opt}/FV/OVMF.fd "${pkgdir}"/usr/share/ovmf/ovmf_x64.bin' before line 58 in PKGBUILD.
FYI - Build is failing using openssl-1.1.0e. Changing it to use openssl-1.1.0g fixes it for me, so I believe they've included support for the newer version.
dominicm: It's not being detected, because path changed, there is x64 folder at end ;D I had same problem 10 seconds ago
Install failed on a clean arch installation and like you said other commenters also have the same issue. Editing out the lines relating to IA32 did work but then why not remove those lines in the package? The whole point of AUR is to make it easy to install packages. If the package is broken it should be fixed or removed as not to waste people's time. Also no matter what I cannot get libvirt to detect ovmf, not sure if it might be related to this package or not but it worked for me in the past with identical config.
dominicm: Could be an issue with the PKGBUILD, but AUR helpers aren't officially supported, so if it builds in a clean chroot, there's nothing I can do for you. I will investigate though, and if you can/are willing, can you build with makepkg it better yet, in a clean chroot to see if it does build.
It looks to me like you are ignoring the comments labeling the IA32 part to be broken and I encourage you to read the comments and do what they suggest.
The package worked in the past but now the install fails with both packer and yaourt. Pretty useless to have a AUR package that can't be install automatically...
