I've updated the PKGBUILD to default to Gnome, so LXDE/XFCE/not-gnome-or-kde users should work now.
Please test and let me know if it still doesn't work.

Not very descriptive error I'm afraid...
$ makepkg -s
My box only has lxde on it so no kde/gnome stuff at all.

Do you have 'gnome-session' or 'kdeinit4' binaries? What errors do you get?

+1 can't build with LXDE

Out of GNOME/KDE ambient, makepkg doesn't work.
Editing makepkg and leaving just GTK (GNOME) dependencies, it bulds, and run, but no interface works.
I'm on LXDE.

If large Files (>3 GB) are backed up starting the Gnome GUI of backintime might result in an error.
This is a known bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/backintime/+bug/409130 which can easily be fixed by changing "int" to "float" in /usr/share/backintime/gnome/app.py Line 212
211 # display name, relative path, icon_name, type (0 - directory, 1 - file), size (str), date, size (int)
212 self.store_folder_view = gtk.ListStore( str, str, str, int, str, str, float )

That will happen if you have both Gnome and KDE on your system, as it installs a .desktop file for each GUI (gtk and qt). You can force it to only build a GUI for your preferred environment (and therefore only install that .desktop file) by removing one of the IF blocks above build(). Remove the appropriate kdeinit4 or gnome-session block.

Minor problem: each backintime icon shows up twice in the gnome applications menu. As a result, I have 4 icons in Applications>System tools :
-2 Back in time icons
-2 Back in time (root) icons

Using an AUR helper such as yay to build packages including backintime is HIGHLY discouraged. The recommended build method is to use a clean chroot. See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot
I wrote a script that automates much of that called clean-chroot-manager offered here in the AUR.
Please stop posting build failures because you insist on building with yay or other AUR helpers.
