I seem to be encountering an issue building this package. I got the following error:
CMake Error at /lib/cmake/harfbuzz/harfbuzz-config.cmake:7 (message):
File or directory //include/harfbuzz referenced by variable
HARFBUZZ_INCLUDE_DIR does not exist !

This seems to be related to the new dependency checking scripts.
Edit: This can be fixed by adding: export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr:$CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH in the build function before we call CMAKE.
If we really wanted to go one step further we could use pacman before exporting the variable to find the harfbuzz directory, that way we can actually customize the /usr portion of the variable incase harfbuzz is installed somewhere else.
An example could be something like this for dynamically fetching that directory:
HARFBUZZ_PREFIX=$(pacman -Ql harfbuzz | head -1 | awk '{print $2}')
export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="${HARFBUZZ_PREFIX}:$CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH"
Ladybird moved all of their dependency checks into a new file: ladybird/Meta/CMake/check_for_dependencies.cmake. This breaks the current PKGBUILD's patching of the dependency check for icu and causes the build to fail.

seems a new dependency on mimalloc is now needed.. works just fine after installing said package
yobson: Sorry, I forgot to revert the libpng dep change. should build fine with libpng-apng (AUR); I pushed an update.

Due to the asintgen Rust tool built and used during compilation, I was getting build failures caused by having the CARGO_TARGET_DIR env var set to something nonstandard. This should probably be reset/set to target in the PKGBUILD, and maybe RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN should be set stable/whatever is used for the project as well, while you're at it. Thanks.
apng support was merged into extra/libpng, therefore aur/libpng-apng was orphaned.
Oh great, upstream sure is racking up rust deps. Thanks for the report!

A note since this package now builds with the system libs: skia has to be installed and available through pkg-conf;
skia-staticprovides the specific version (and a pkg-conf file) needed by this build.
