Arch Linux User Repository

To fix the xcbgen error you need to add python2-xcb-proto to make depends.

Also, the default installation of pipewire on Archlinux installs headers under /usr/include/pipewire-X.X/pipewire/*.h but the build expects them to be under /usr/include/pipewire/*.h I managed to fix this by creating the corresponding symlink at /usr/include/pipewire.

This is also the case for the /usr/include/spa-X.X/spa/... headers that come with pipewire so had to create an additional simlink to /usr/include/spa.

Edit: Actually, it seems that it cannot be built against pipewire-3.x which is the latest version in archlinux repositories, I had to downgrade to pipewire-2.x and the build worked.

Edit: It turns out I was managing my nodejs installation using fnm and the enabled version was different than what the build expected. I installed nodejs from archlinux repositories and this fixed the build error.

The build fails for me with:

Thanks @ylxdzsw!

No real reason, except that I try and keep this as close as possible to https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/chromium/ unless I have a good reason not to. I'm not sure when the dependency changed in the chromium package, but I recently brought it more up to date with the chromium package generally and that was one of the changes.

Thanks for maintaining this excellent PKGBUILD. Just wonder why it has a hard dependency on ttf-liberation starts from two versions ago, while it used to need only any ttf-fonts?
