@m040601 looks like the problem is just that the project is unmaintained. Looks like the author created a new project to the same thing better as mentioned in this git issue: https://github.com/jart/hiptext/issues/57

I'll be abandoning this aur package and probably making a new one for the other project if it doesn't exist.

Thanks for providing this PKGBUILD. I was curious about this tool, and unfortunately, the other PKGBUILD "hiptext" seems abandoned, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hiptext . Maybe you have also interest in adopting it ?

Upstream development, https://github.com/jart/hiptext, also seems to have stopped, last release was 2016. But there was a commit in 2021

Anyway, I tried this "hiptext-gif". All seemed to go well, downloading, verifying, checking dependencies etc.

But it is currently failing with,

Maybe the problem is in those "avXXX" related things ? Avcodec ?

This is just an extract. Hope it helps to diagnose, as I myself have very limited knowledge of compiling and AUR PKGBUILD's.
