Hey friend, you're missing a few dependencies. Looking at the ncspot README you're missing dbus and libxcb. You also need to add pkgconf to makedepends. Besides those ncspot (at least on my system) seems to link to libs from the following packages:

dbus
flac
gcc-libs
glibc
libasyncns
libgcrypt
libgpg-error
libogg
libpulse
libsndfile
libvorbis
libxau
libxcb
libxdmcp
lz4
ncurses
openssl
systemd-libs
xz
zstd

Not sure you need to include all of those but you might want to look into it.

By the way, you can generate that package list with the following command ldd /usr/bin/ncspot | awk '{print $3}' | xargs pacman -Qqo | sort | uniq

Hello, I made some modifications from your PKGBUILD. I personally don't install pulseaudio. The changes just check if pulseaudio is installed. If it isn't it just compile with alsa backend. If you feel the changes are ugly or it does not make sense feel free to reject them. 

build() {
cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}"
package=pulseaudio
if pacman -Qs $package > /dev/null ; then
    echo "The package $package is installed"
    cargo build --release --locked
else
    echo "The package $package is not installed"
    cargo build --release --no-default-features --features share_clipboard,alsa_backend,mpris,cursive/pancurses-backend --locked
fi
}

check() {
  cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}"
  package=pulseaudio
  if pacman -Qs $package > /dev/null ; then
    echo "The package $package is installed"
    cargo test --release --locked
  else
    echo "The package $package is not installed"
    cargo test --release --no-default-features --features share_clipboard,alsa_backend,mpris,cursive/pancurses-backend --locked
  fi
}

I got an error from rust. "error: no default toolchain configured" had to do this: rustup install stable

Works also with armv7l (pi4) - nice with guake!

Just a thank you for the PKGBUILD. Works like a charm even on armv8 (If you add it as a target ARCH).

jgalar, the makepkg wouldn't even run without you installing the make dependencies, so this is not an issue with this PKGBUILD. I tried with yay and using the PKGBUILD only and it works as expected.

I'm not sure makedepends packages are supposed to be used during the "prepare" step.
