Error building directory from the AUR

Hello!

I recently decided to move to Manjaro KDE Plasma as my main Linux distribution after using Ubuntu for many months. As I was installing applications, I ran into an issue with one particular program.

The program is called “Velocidrone” and is a FPV drone simulator.

I tried installing both in the gui and cli but was unsuccessful. Even tried running the yay install as sudo to see if that would change anything, but it didn’t.

I was curious if anyone knows the solution to the error I get. I will paste the terminal output below. Many thanks for anyone who reads!

The AUR package … er … PKGBUILD … doesnt work well and also requires you do some things manually beforehand.
Your first step when using the AUR should usually be to investigate the package page:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/velocidrone/
There I notice a number of comments that would probably answer your question.
