makepkg fails for no apparent reason

[orgads]

I'm using the git-sdk, but I also tried with official MSYS2 installation.

Both makepkg (for MSYS2-PACKAGES) and makepkg-mingw (for MINGW) fail on every package I try to build. The log shows:

Nothing constructive. Manually running configure/make works just fine.

Hmm. Have you tried debugging it (adding for example set -x inside build())?

Hi,

Sorry for the late response.

The failed build log is here. A successful one is here. I only pasted the beginning of the file, until the options are parsed.

It looks like the build fails when trying to parse the arguments.

Any idea?

ping?

The latest version of the ncurses package builds just fine for me (using pacman, that is). Have you modified the PKGBUILD in any way? Could you make a minimum reproducible example?

[orgads]

This is not specific to ncurses. I merely used it as an example. It happens for every package I try to build, with or without modifications.

Like I said, manually running configure/make works. Looks like something is wrong in makepkg or in my environment.
