It seems like starting with Kitty 0.18.4 package liblcms2 is required for building, at least that's how I read this error-message:

Package lcms2 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `lcms2.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'lcms2', required by 'virtual:world', not found
CC: gcc (10, 1)
The package lcms2 was not found on your system

And, thus, it should have corresponding entries for provides and conflicts...

provides=(kitty kitty-terminfo)
conflicts=(kitty kitty-terminfo)

That's because this package supplies it already (or it does now anyway, maybe it didn't last year):

failed to install kitty-terminfo: /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-kitty exists in filesystem (owned by kitty-git)

Note that the non-git version of this package has dependencies not found in this release. Especially kitty-terminfo seems significant.

@CjK libcanberra was added 2 days ago to depencies in the code, pkgbuild has been updated now, thanks

Trying to build latest master results in the following error:

Package libcanberra was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libcanberra.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

@SolarAquarion @Vortico Fixed, thanks

kovidgoyal has fixed the below problem upstream, so the extra build() steps are no longer needed. However, python-sphinx is still needed as a build dependency.

A solution is to add these steps to build()

make man
make html
python3 setup.py linux-package

and add python-sphinx as a build dependency.

@FabioLolix there has been some changes upstream that needs editing of the make steps.

Like make, make man, and make html
