[SOLVED] A failure occurred in build() during makepkg

Beesh · 2025-07-21 15:11:30

I'm trying to compile the latest argyllcms package. I took the PKGBUILD from there and edited the pkgver and sha256sums variables. But when I launch the makepkg -si command in the PKGBUILD directory, it stop after a while with this error:

==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

I tried to compile the PKGBUILD without any edits and to my surprise it fails too. So I tried to compile it in a clean arch instance but it fails there too.
How can I debug it? is there a way to get a more verbose error?

there are the custom PKGBUILD and the makepkg command full output

If you search the build log for "failed" you can find the actual errors:
