A working PKGBUILD for those who cannot be bothered to compile. Its not perfect and I have not checked each and every dependency if its actually required or not. Hopefully this package can be picked up again soon.....

Just installed, it crash with this error:

Any clue:

Awesome, thanks!

EDIT: Although I noticed you hard coded neovide 0.7.0 in the URL for the desktop file. You should probably use the package version there instead.

Done, thank you. Can you proofread the PKGBUILD?

Edit: Corrected the hardcoded version

This package doesn't install the neovide desktop file, which makes the application much more of a pain to launch.

The desktop file is available in the assets folder of the official Github repository: https://github.com/Kethku/neovide/tree/main/assets

The "neovide" AUR package does this already, so you could pretty much copy the relevant lines from there: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=neovide

Thanks, I wasn't informed on this. This was more of a workaround until someone confronted about the issue.

If you need a Vulkan driver to run this, then you should add vulkan-driver to its dependencies instead. vulkan-driver is satisfied by vulkan-intel, vulkan-radeon, or any package that provides it.
