It seems the current installation strategy is incorrect. Normally, the extracted contents of the source should be installed into a single directory, and FBXSDK_ROOT should be exported to the environment. Without this, building against the SDK becomes difficult and requires unnecessary overengineering not defined by upstream. Here’s my approach: https://pastebin.com/EcSFCjPh

$ cat fbx-sdk.sh 
export FBXSDK_ROOT="/opt/fbx-sdk"
$ cat fbx-sdk.csh 
setenv FBXSDK_ROOT "/opt/fbx-sdk"

There are several other changes as well, so apply them as you see fit.

For convenience, this is the crude fix I did to the PKGBUILD.

Ideally you would create a patchfile for the source and apply that instead.

source code has typo.

/usr/include/fbxsdk/core/base/fbxredblacktree.h:318:44: error: ‘const class fbxsdk::FbxRedBlackTree<Type, Compare, Allocator>::RecordType’ has no member named ‘mLefttChild’; did you mean ‘mLeftChild’? [-Wtemplate-body] 318 | while (lParent && lParent->mLefttChild == lNode) | ^~~ | mLeftChild

. And replace dependency libxml2 with libxml2-legacy

also change in install:

install -D "lib/release/libfbxsdk.so" "$pkgdir/usr/lib/libfbxsdk.so"

and remove 32bit support, it's gone apparently, but need to double check their website

change source to:

source=("https://damassets.autodesk.net/content/dam/autodesk/www/files/fbx${pkgver//./}_fbxsdk_gcc_linux.tar.gz")

latest version for linux is: pkgver=2020.3.7

Source for 2020.0.1: https://www.autodesk.com/content/dam/autodesk/www/adn/fbx/2020-0-1/fbx202001_fbxsdk_linux.tar.gz Changes to get it working: https://github.com/calvertdw/fbx-sdk

In case anyone would like a PKGBUILD for 2019.5 ...

Edit: updated

Just like with other packages with license I've seen, this one leaves license agreement to install time. When you install package you are asked to accept license, and to remove package if you do not. That way it is person installing package who accepts the license, not person building it. There are people using build servers, so PKGBUILDs should not be interactive or environment dependent in any way, other than trough dependencies.
