This built fine for me, but I needed to change the /usr/share/applications/ladybird.desktop file for it to show up in GNOME. The executable I get is /usr/bin/Ladybird, not /usr/bin/ladybird.
So I had to change it from this:
Exec=ladybird
To this:
Exec=Ladybird
Then I updated my desktop entries database:
sudo update-desktop-database
And I can now find and launch Ladybird from GNOME.
As of package version r50376.5312a140fe-1, it appears that qt6-multimedia is now a dependency.
-- Could NOT find Qt6Multimedia (missing: Qt6Multimedia_DIR)
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:76 (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 "Multimedia".
Expected Config file at
"/usr/lib/cmake/Qt6Multimedia/Qt6MultimediaConfig.cmake" does NOT exist
Configuring with --debug-find-pkg=Qt6Multimedia 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.
I just tried to update Ladybird, and seems to require qt6-svg in makedepends. With the package missing it won't compile. As of the time of writing, it's package version r50327.e938860126-1. Here's the error:

I have just successfully installed on a Pinebook Pro with Manjaro. You could add aarch64 to supported architectures.
Thank you ADKaster for the help. I fixed the package.
Using yochananmarqos 's PKGBUILD, it builds and installs properly with the latest commits of both serenity and ladybird:
https://github.com/SerenityOS/ladybird/commit/175cfaca9e5b5b326ef9ee3ce4717e161fe5f14e
https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/commit/f3763a527592fae56401e8f8461d644ddc172d05
https://gist.github.com/ADKaster/eaf585c5aee1a00c84015c04e0e5d97a
Loading at least the homepage (serenityos.org) works as expected.
Remove the static commit, that's not how VCS packages work. This does not build from the latest commit, by the way:
CMake Error at /build/ladybird/src/serenity/Meta/Lagom/CMakeLists.txt:433 (install):
install TARGETS given target "LibLocaleData" which does not exist.
EDIT: See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/200495
EDIT 2: Built successfully using static commits, but it does not render web pages properly. Not sure why yet. See my WIP PKGBUILD
The upstream URL redirects to https://github.com/SerenityOS/ladybird . Can you change that URL?
I didn't get this branch compiling step to work, instead I use this branch: 954dbd3f5da429d0282435f7d98a86dc7b16417b.
Sure, no problem

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.
