and found this error

xampp is a custom buildscript and thus unsupported

Build scripts from AUR asumes Arch library level - a dependency on glibc may work on Arch but not on Manjaro stable simply because the newer version has not yet reached stable branch.

I tried this method and found this error

missing dependencies: -> libxcrypt-compat ==> checking buildtime dependencies... ==> error: could not resolve all dependencies.

Using the AUR (Arch User Repository) assumes you’re using Arch stable and fully up to date. glibc 2.35 no longer contains libcrypt.so.1, that’s why there’s a libxcrypt-compat package now. However, the Manjaro stable branch still has glibc 2.34. Either wait until the next stable update or switch to the testing or unstable branch.
