The message mentioned is unrelated to this project: glib2-devel being a build dependency for pix has no relation to it also being an optional dependency for glib2.

Generally, PKGBUILDs run unprivileged and cannot modify the local system. However, makepkg can get deps for you via "-s" / "--syncdeps" - see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Makepkg#Usage

@ion203 thanks for the quick reply. Yes by installing glib2-devel package first then the build completed ok. It would be handy if the build script will just fetch the glib2-devel package for the user. (the output says glib2 optionally requires glib2-devel: development tools)

@noitemstoshow - I'm not able to reproduce this issue in a clean chroot. Make sure you have all required dependencies (including base-devel) and the build root is up to date.

"Make" dependencies - including glib2-devel here - are required for the build step.

Failed to compile, is glib2-devel optional or a must?

:: glib2 optionally requires glib2-devel: development tools

This needs glib2-devel as a make dependency, see: https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/arch-dev-public@lists.archlinux.org/thread/FLUDH7DXL5CJNZPX4NAWKQO2QJF3PZCD/

The latest gcc release changed errors and broke this build. It'll be resolved with the 3.4.0 update for this package

The build fails with the following error Is there something wrong with my environment?

okay so...gst-libav isnt in the dependency list, without it .mp4 videos cant be played. for some reason gst-libav isnt in gthumb optional dependency list as well. could you please add it?

I'm not as concerned about rebuilding the package in my machine (it's already running), as I am about the health of the package manifest, for all users. In other words: it would have been nice receiving a warning the last time I updated my machine, that by updating libjxl I was going to break pix.

Notice like this for the AUR before building are not possible

On one of my pkgbuilds have been mentioned: implement checkrebuild from rebuild-detector into your workflow.

bruno.unna - this is done by bumping pkgrel, helpers will then rebuild since a new version is indicated.

I did it this time since prompted, but typically wouldn't bother. Most aur users should know to rebuild when encountering an error like this, so a late pkgrel bump will just mean an unnecessary second rebuild for them.
