The bin installation fails because of the openssl dependency (AUR).

makepkg don't install other AUR pkgbuild, anyway mailspring-bin launch fine without openssl-1.0, I have commented there, meanwhile you can edit it out of the pkgbuild

I thought it was clear. I succeeded with git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/mailspring.git ; cd mailspring ; makepkg -fsri.

The bin installation fails because of the openssl dependency (AUR).

The build was successful with this method.

Which pkgbuild? which method?

I had tried to build the bin with makepkg with no result

If you can't build a -bin pkgbuild my guess is that there are some problems on your machine

I use pikaur with systemd-dynamic-user.

I don't have time for AUR helpers sorry

==> ERROR: An error has occurred in build().

I had tried to build the bin with makepkg with no result, but I hadn't tried this package. The build was successful with this method.

I use pikaur with systemd-dynamic-user.

==> ERREUR : Une erreur s’est produite dans build().

generally please launch with LANG=C to post in english

Seems you don't have writing permission there or something like that, what command are you using to build? Does it work with makepkg or devtools?

I can't compile this package or the mailspring-bin. How to break a working package :/

I have this error here
