This package can be built and run with merely freetype2 and ninja dependencies.

It uses Built-in Lua to compile and run, even if Lua does exist on the host. So lua, lua52 and lua52-filesystem are not required. Even though if you patch the makefile to use the host library, you still will need one of the lua and lua52, not both of them.

Also, zlib library is in base metapackage dependency tree, so it also is not required.

Furthermore, libx11 and libxft are optional dependencies. Only required if you want to use xwordgrinder. They are used in compile time if available in the host. Otherwise, compilation proceeds without them and does not produce a xwordgrinder binary.

Please, consider removing Lua and zlib dependencies and turn X11 dependencies to optdepends for running Wordgrinder under X11, minding that many default Terminal emulators currently run under Wayland by default.

I put together a PKGBUILD for 0.8 that seems to work ok. I'm far from an expert, though.

There's a new version with lots of new features that's been out since October, but it looks like the package maintainer might have abandoned this package? It hasn't been updated in 2 years...
