@CxByte The cmake scripts force -march=native or -march=x86-64-v3. Neither is suitable for some use cases (binary repos).
If you decide to remove it with sed, users can still customize build flags in /etc/makepkg.conf.
sed -e '/march=/d' -i ladybird/Meta/CMake/common_compile_options.cmake
I see that now, thanks for your work. I used the browser and it's quite fast and responsive, I was surprised it can access modern websites. Hopefully I'll adapt it into my workflow in the future but I'll have to take a closer look at how those dependencies are bundled.
@abandon: as with all AUR stuff I would suggest looking at the pkgbuild, but fwiw I'm also a maintainer of Ladybird :)
@CxByte thanks for the prompt reply. I advise caution to people installing this as both skia and ANGLE are maintained by the same person who maintains this package. ladybird (unlike ladybird-git) does not need depot-tools-git so you could install that one to test it.
abandon: This package doesn't depend on depot-tools. It does depend on skia and ANGLE which do.
Why is there a dependency on depot-tools-git? Supposedly won't this browser be built from scratch and use none of the chromium dependencies?
The qt6-multimedia and qt6-wayland dependencies are no longer necessary, see:
shadow_absorber: Thanks for the note. The new revision should now build cleanly.
ello again... seems this fails to build now because of the following error:
-- Found Python3: /home/user/.local/share/pyenv/shims/python3 (found version "3.14.2") found components: Interpreter
CMake Error at Libraries/LibJS/CMakeLists.txt:280 (find_package):
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "simdjson" with any
of the following names:
simdjsonConfig.cmake
simdjson-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "simdjson" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"simdjson_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If
"simdjson" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
been installed.
thanks for any future help or comments and hopefully this can be fixed soonish
Treetrain1: I'm away from the computer for a bit, will take a look when I get back. In the meantime, did you rebuild skia-static? I pushed an update to that as well and it was working fine last I checked (a week or so ago though)

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.
