arch=($CARCH)
should be
arch=('x86_64') or
arch=('x86_64' 'i686' 'pentium4' 'i486') or
arch=('pentium4' 'i686' 'i486' 'x86_64' 'armv6h' 'armv7h' 'aarch64')
IMHO. Depending on how many Archlinux architectures/forks it has been tested on. $CARCH in arch troubles automatization too.
@Insprill thanks a lot! working again without errors
I'm quite certain that doing arch=($CARCH) isn't valid. It should specify all archs that it supports explicitly.
@ViewtifulHawk I added a check to also grab it from there. This is getting extremely hacky 😅
Don't know if this hack will work for everyone. On my system the file is located at /usr/share/aclocal/nls.m4. Had to comment out the line you added and then the build ran fine.
I implemented @rlct0's hacky fix for now. If someone knows the proper way to fix this, please let me know.
I managed to avoid the undefined macro error by adding this in the middle of prepare():
cp /usr/share/gettext/m4/nls.m4 m4/nls.m4.
Not sure what the correct way to fix this would be.
During compilation I get this error:
error: possibly undefined macro: AM_NLS
@dreieck Fixed, thank you.
You need to make the license identifier SPDX compliant:
gconf E: LGPL is not a valid SPDX license identifier. See https://spdx.org/licenses/ for valid identifiers, or prefix the identifier with 'LicenseRef-', if it is custom.
Regards and thanks for the package!

Most of the packages that “require” it are actually Electron apps that copy&pasted their dependency lists from elsewhere or failed to update them: Chromium (and subsequently Electron) haven’t been dependent on this for years.
If you want to help, you can ask the maintainers of all those apps if they really still need gconf.
None that I use still need it (spotify and hamsket-bin), and their maintainers removed the superfluous dependency.

If you got build issues, please make sure
base-develgroup is installed [1]If the build is still not working, use clean chroots [2] to build it.
