Missing dependency building vmware-workstation

when i do the command makepkg -si, all i get is this.

==> Making package: vmware-workstation 16.1.2-3 (Sat 07 Aug 2021 02:37:58 BST)
==> Checking runtime dependencies…
==> Installing missing dependencies…
error: target not found: vmware-keymaps
==> ERROR: ‘pacman’ failed to install missing dependencies.
==> Missing dependencies:

==> Checking buildtime dependencies…
==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.

How to fix?

Why no install vmware from the AUR?

pamac install vmware-workstation

Also there is this guide

pamac install vmware-workstation  :heavy_check_mark:
Error: target not found: vmware-workstation
and that is what i am following

Try

pamac build vmware-keymaps

then run the PKGBUILD script again.

here it is:

vmware-workstation: /etc/vmware-installer/bootstrap exists in filesystem
vmware-workstation: /etc/vmware-installer/database exists in filesystem
vmware-workstation: /etc/vmware-vix/bootstrap exists in filesystem
vmware-workstation: /etc/vmware/bootstrap exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
==> WARNING: Failed to install built package(s).

To be able to install vmware - you need to do it the Arch way.

Read the guide linked :point_up: unless something has radically changed it will work.

For your other issues - fix them - before you implement what is in the guide.
