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

Configure currently fails with:

CMake Error at Meta/CMake/utils.cmake:207 (file):
  file RENAME failed to rename
    .../src/ladybird/Libraries/LibHTTP/Build/caches/HSTSPreload/transport_security_state_static.json.tmp
  to
    .../src/ladybird/Libraries/LibHTTP/Build/caches/HSTSPreload/transport_security_state_static.json
  because: No such file or directory

Cause: the PKGBUILD passes a relative -DLADYBIRD_CACHE_DIR=Build/caches. CMake resolves relative paths differently per file() sub-command: file(DOWNLOAD) writes relative to the process CWD ($srcdir, from cd "${srcdir}" in build()), while file(RENAME) resolves against CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR (here Libraries/LibHTTP). So the .tmp lands in $srcdir/Build/caches/HSTSPreload/ while the rename looks for it under $srcdir/ladybird/Libraries/LibHTTP/Build/caches/HSTSPreload/.

This was latent until upstream switched download_file_multisource() to a download-to-.tmp-then-rename scheme; it's now a hard error. Upstream's own default for this variable is absolute (${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/../caches in Meta/CMake/cmake_options.cmake).

One-line fix:

-    -DLADYBIRD_CACHE_DIR=Build/caches \
+    -DLADYBIRD_CACHE_DIR="${srcdir}/Build/caches" \

Verified locally: configure completes and the JSON lands correctly in $srcdir/Build/caches/HSTSPreload/.

Note for anyone who already hit this: you need makepkg -C. HSTS_PRELOAD_PATH is a cached PATH entry, so a stale src/build/CMakeCache.txt holds the old relative value and reproduces the error even after the PKGBUILD is fixed.

I believe qt6-positioning is missing as a depends (I'm assuming runtime, given the other QT6 dependencies are not makedepends), per:

• https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/issues/11084
• https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/commit/243c036df6f1d0d7960770bfad12017706d11031#diff-0fbaeb1b468e11a4f16807238ff76f5b745ae71ca7638cf098e44e36358c4882R70-R73

Getting the following error during build (clean chroot via aurto); manually building with makepkg when I have qt6-positioning installed works.

-- Found OpenGL: /usr/lib/libOpenGL.so
-- Found WrapAtomic: TRUE
-- Found WrapOpenGL: TRUE
-- Could NOT find WrapVulkanHeaders (missing: Vulkan_INCLUDE_DIR)
-- Could NOT find Qt6Positioning (missing: Qt6Positioning_DIR)
CMake Error at UI/Qt/CMakeLists.txt:8 (find_package):
  Found package configuration file:

    /usr/lib/cmake/Qt6/Qt6Config.cmake

  but it set Qt6_FOUND to FALSE so package "Qt6" is considered to be NOT
  FOUND.  Reason given by package:

  Failed to find required Qt component "Positioning".

  Expected Config file at
  "/usr/lib/cmake/Qt6Positioning/Qt6PositioningConfig.cmake" does NOT exist



  Configuring with --debug-find-pkg=Qt6Positioning might reveal details why
  the package was not found.

  Configuring with -DQT_DEBUG_FIND_PACKAGE=ON will print the values of some
  of the path variables that find_package uses to try and find the package.

@unknown78: That's a GCC 16.1.1 bug, I have an update that disables it but for now "The AUR is down due to maintenance."

There is a build warning which is treated as error by -Wall. Of course the Warning can be ignored but this should get a proper fix.

Re disallowed syscall access, LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/issues/10601.

@OzzyHelix I also get the same error (installed from chaotic-aur)

@OzzyHelix, please take that bug report upstream - I think that's sys_access being denied by the sandbox.

so I am getting this error when trying to run this I installed from the chaotic aur and I suspect its an issue on their end or on my end but I figured I should say something about it

unknown78: upstream wants to keep using mimalloc 2.x (seems like 3.x regresses memory usage by ~8%) so I've added the local patch.

mi_get_default_heap got removed -> https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc/commit/9b110090b2f79ab202c01bd806c867122f9d729f

new prepare fixes the build ... but it's a dirty workaround and maybe should be fixed more clean upstream
