Got same error...
make: *** [Makefile:152: all] Error 2
With a bit of backtracking...
BUILD FAILED /tmp/makepkg/rstudio-desktop/src/rstudio-rstudio-f1ac345/src/gwt/build.xml:98: Error running javac compiler
So my javac binary decided to disappear even with jdk-openjdk installed, huh? Turns out I still had wrong Java version set as default and after executing
# archlinux-java set java-8-openjdk
ant was finally willing to build gwt and the Rstudio installation was complete.

A note for users.
This package is quite complex. It MAY not be built because of OTHER issues. I always build, install and test it on at least two different machines. Only after that I would push a new version to AUR.
Please try some generic solutions before reporting of build problems:
1) Update all other packages (sudo pacman -Syu),
2) Clean up yay and/or makepkg caches ('yay -Sc', 'rm -rf /var/tmp/makepkg'),
3) Be sure you've got enough RAM (8 GB or more is highly recommended) and space on disk (at least 3 GB).
4) Is your Internet connection is stable, fast and not blocked somewhere?

PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE BEFORE COMPLAINING FOR LIBBOOST
When boost is updated to a new version and you see an error message about missing libboost*.so, you will need to rebuild and reinstall the rstudio-desktop package.

Build logic is slightly changed due to changes in upstream. As they've introduced new project format (quarto), it contradicted with standard Arch package base. In brief, quarto contains pandoc as part of itself, so it's pretty hard to keep together system pandoc and embedded quarto.
So I've "resolved" it such way: if there is "quarto*" package installed, then rstudio-desktop will pick it up and use. Otherwise (not installed), quarto support in rstudio will be disabled.
'quarto' is added as optional dependency.
