@gardotd426 : Thanks for your feedback, perhaps an issue with pacman 6...

I hope this will fixed before the release but now, I'll take a eye on it...

I've figured out the problem (which you might want to look into).

Your package doesn't build with makepkg/pacman 6.0, which will be releasing soon.

I switched back to 5.2.2-1 and it works. But I've been using 6.0 for the parallel downloads. Once they release it, this package will stop building.

It's saying too few arguments to function:

This error occurs when numbers of actual and formal arguments are different in the program.

Target how? It fails literally immediately, and I have all dependencies installed. I don't know how exactly you expect me to target anything. The errors are code-related

@gardotd426 : Just tested with success on a clean install... I've lost 20 min of my life to test it! Try to target your issue...

Neither this nor the package linked in the top comment work. Both fail to build.

That's for the linked one. This package here fails with:
