Install of Lingot instrument tuner aborts

A few years ago I successfully installed Lingot. Following a hard drive problem I had to do a fresh Manjaro installation, but the Lingot install aborts:

`> ``

checking for glib-compile-resources… /usr/bin/glib-compile-resources
checking for pkg-config… no
checking for pkg-config… no
configure: error: glib-compile-schemas not found.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting…

I have tried both the AUR packages and get the same result.
glib-compile-schemas is present in /usr/bin.

I think my old install was the Testing branch. My current install is the Stable branch.

Any ideas?

You’re missing the prerequisites for using the AUR.

That just occurred to me so I installed pkgconf.
It still fails but at a later stage. I’ll have to check that out another day.

config.status: creating config.h
config.status: executing depfiles commands
config.status: error: in `/var/tmp/pamac-build-andy/lingot/src/lingot-1.1.1':
config.status: error: Something went wrong bootstrapping makefile fragments
    for automatic dependency tracking.  If GNU make was not used, consider
    re-running the configure script with MAKE="gmake" (or whatever is
    necessary).  You can also try re-running configure with the
    '--disable-dependency-tracking' option to at least be able to build
    the package (albeit without support for automatic dependency tracking).
See `config.log' for more details

Yeah, why read linked page about AUR when you know better…

Looking back, I used bauh, not pamac, for the original lingot install. So I have now installed bauh via yay and then lingot, which works.
As pamac has an enable AUR setting I had assumed it would do the same job as bauh, but evidently it does not.

Read. The. Link.
There are packages the whole AUR assumes you have.
(toggling that pamac switch allows you to see AUR packages, it does not install the packages required for using them)
