The missing wxgtk dependency is caused by this change: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commit/71ee17d529f8e0dc5c44d2fffb0dfa69b71daa0b

Replace wxgtk with wxgtk2 in the PKGBUILD file to fix it.

I get this error: target not found: wxgtk.

Golly 4.0 is out! The autoconf scripts have been removed from this release, so it's necessary to build with the makefile-gtk script instead. Here's an updated PKGBUILD:

https://gist.githubusercontent.com/maksverver/c0188885daafef9a2658d2305c9fe456/raw/414ca304ed69fedcc3c5af50d41409bd02ecb121/PKGBUILD

The hackiest part is specifying the location of libperl.so. We could remove that (Golly will prompt the user for the location if libperl.so is not found) or disable perl support entirely, since it's deprecated upstream.

Golly 3.0 has been released. Will update tonight

By the way, I think you can drop the `gendesk` make dependency if you ship the .desktop file separately.
