I'm getting build failures at the ./configure --prefix=/usr step.

loading cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for working aclocal-1.4... missing
checking for working autoconf... found
checking for working automake-1.4... missing
checking for working autoheader... found
checking for working makeinfo... found
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.

Looking at src/ncmatrix-1.0-1/config.log:

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

configure:559: checking for a BSD compatible install
configure:612: checking whether build environment is sane

configure:913:1: error: return type defaults to 'int' [-Wimplicit-int]

      | ^~~~
configure: failed program was:

#line 911 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

main(){return(0);}

gcc --version is 14.2.1 20240805. I guess at some point gcc required int main().

Now I absolutely don't know C build systems, but if I run autoconf before ./configure --prefix=/usr it screams about obsolete macros and such but it works. I think upstream needs to run autoupdate and resolve a bunch of warnings.

I have now adopted the package and fixed the download links.

You can modify the PKGBUILD source line to: source=(https://web.archive.org/web/20160412025515/http://webpages.charter.net/tux/ncmatrix/ncmatrix-1.0.zip)

The md5 checksum is correct at least when I tried, but do this at your own risk...

Perhaps use https://github.com/mayfrost/NCMatrix (last commit 9 days ago) as an alternative?
