Trying to install Librewolf, many errors. Why are so many packages missing in Manjaro Distro?

Using command

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/librewolf.git
cd librewolf
makepkg -si

First error the terminal gave was

cannot find pkgconfig

Fixed with

sudo pacman -S pkgconf

Second error

DEBUG: gmake: Looking for gmake
DEBUG: gmake: Looking for make

sudo pacman -S make

Third error

0:05.68 DEBUG: m4: Looking for gm4

Am I really going to have to manually keep searching for all these Common packages?

Manjaro is a seriously over-hyped distro, I never had these problems with Debian, It just worked…

No, but you are supposed to open AUR wiki page and read how it actually works and what you need to use it.

As Librewolf isnt installed on Manjaro by default, I used the librewolf wiki

There are several you need. That’s why there’s a meta package that includes them all that is required for using the AUR. See Arch User Repository - Manjaro.

Yeah and in first sentence you have link to AUR wiki.

This Distro is too cumbersome, pacman, pamac, snap, AUR…

How many ways is a user expected to learn to install a software?

Other distros have simple interfacing to manage this.

Going back to Debian when I have time to re-install, screw this.

Okay, bye. :wave:
