True, but it seems yay installs and works fine without base-devel on aarch64, which is pretty weird.

pkgconf and patch are provided by base-devel which are implicit dependencies of AUR packages.

As noted by Libgxps this actually builds on aarch64, but seems to also need pkgconf and patch as dependencies.

conflicts=('wev') is missing.

For anyone experiencing issues running this under Gnome Shell (wl_registry@2: error 0: invalid version for global wl_seat (16): have 5, wanted 6), there's a commit in a fork by jwrdegoede on GitHub which fixes it: https://github.com/jwrdegoede/wev/commit/3ee158f71f591b60d233dfeb36a09ac4d7afbeb1

I'm not sure if sircmpwn is aware of that patch, or if there are reasons why it wouldn't be accepted into mainline - seems like the "correct" fix would be to patch Gnome to provide version 6 rather than building in DE-specific workarounds to wev.

Please add the aarch64 architecture or change it to any. It builds quite nicely. Thank you for your support.

@Depau I followed your changes and they worked. I think you can even get rid of the DESTDIR variable and just use the PREFIX dir.

Side-note, it might be worth marking this as orphaned.

Hey, could you please fix the PREFIX issue?

Thank you.

No, the PKGBUILD is poorly made. It's installing stuff in /usr/local which is protected by pacman as local dirs are for manually-installed files. It's not handled by the package manager.

For me it fails to install due to “conflicting files”, saying “wev-git: /usr/local/share/man exists in filesystem (owned by filesystem)”. I can’t see where the install target would offend that though. Is my installation being weird here?
