This PKGBUILD verifies the authenticity of the source via PGP signatures which are not part of the Arch Linux keyring. In order to complete the process it is necessary to import the key(s) from the ‘validpgpkeys’ array into the user’s keyring before calling makepkg. There is a helpful article explaining this process by one of Arch Linux's developers located here: http://allanmcrae.com/2015/01/two-pgp-keyrings-for-package-management-in-arch-linux/

Instructions on importing keys from a keyserver and how to automate the retrieval process can be found in the Arch Linux wiki here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#Use_a_keyserver This article also contains helpful information describing the installation of GnuPG, its configuration and usage.

Execute the following to import keys using gpg:

gpg --recv-keys <KEYID - See 'validpgpkeys' array in PKGBUILD>

The PGP signature check can be skipped by passing --skippgpcheck to makepkg.

Consult the makepkg manual page for a full list of options. [https://www.archlinux.org/pacman/makepkg.8.html]

I am having the same issue with PGP signatures: Verifying source file signatures with gpg... ncurses-6.0.tar.gz ... FAILED (unknown public key 702353E0F7E48EDB) ==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified! ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build ncurses5-compat-libs. Someone has the time and expertise to solve this?

Seems to be Thomas Dickey's key. You can import it with: gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys C52048C0C0748FEE227D47A2702353E0F7E48EDB

Tried to instal but I can't seem to verify the PGP signature. Not sure how to solve this (am new to the AUR).

Who's PGP key is that? It's not registered, as far as I can tell.

I had the exact same issue as Jack_CM and the only way I could get the build to create a package I could install was to add "$pkgdir"/lib/ to the rm -rf command in the package function since the /lib files are not even supposed to be there i nthe first place, according to listings from https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1565060#p1565060 I don't know why the build would include /lib for some users and not other but the quickest way to fix the issue if you encounter it is to edit the PKGBUILD, so I'm thinking maybe it should be updated to always remove this folder from $pkgdir all the time.

for me, compilation fails with _27924.c:1372:22: Fehler: expected »)« before »int« with is due to some kind of incompatible change in gccs preprocessor parsing. for me this is fixed with CC="gcc- P" ./configure ... in PKGBUILD
