I’m building the vangers’s game engine as package for AUR. Readme’s recommended platform for building is ubuntu, which repos has ffmpeg version 4.4. Arch’s ffmpeg is 5.0, with ffmpeg4.4 as a separate package. The problem is, that the game seems to be unbuildable with 5.0 version. How can I force the package to be built with exactly ffmpeg4.4's libraries, but not 5.0 in PKGBUILD file?
Use ffmpeg4.4 instead of ffmpeg.
Well, I know I can force it to use ffmpeg4.4 as dependency with makedepends=('ffmpeg4.4'), but it will still use the 5.0's libraries because ffmpeg's libraries are already installed on system in /usr/lib
Install manjaro-chrootbuild and build it in a clean chroot:
sudo chrootbuild -p package-name -c
However, it’s possible there are other libraries that are also too new besides Ffmpeg.

Thank you, it seems, like the problem is really with ffmpeg. How can I fix this for package? And how to clean up after chrootbuild run?
You’ll have to ask the developer to support a newer version, I suppose. You might want to let them know Ubuntu 21.10 and 22.04 are using FFmpeg 4.4 / 4.4.1.
Please don’t add packages to the AUR that are not complete.
sudo prepare_chroot
I ended up specifying cmake prefix in build(): cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/usr/lib/ffmpeg4.4;/usr/include/ffmpeg4.4" ..
