automake is part of base-devel which is assumed to be installed when building packages.

Hello, please add automake as a dependency. Thanks.

autoreconf should be part of autoconf, which is part of base-devel.

I got this when I tried makepkg -si:

Applied patch to 'gdk/x11/gdkxid.c' cleanly. Applied patch to 'gtk/gtkmodules.c' cleanly. /home/bert/git/gtk2/PKGBUILD: line 61: autoreconf: command not found ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare(). Aborting...

Could someone please correct the PKGBUILD? Thanks!

as @EuroNutellaMan said for yay must be the same,

1) after do yay -Sy gtk2 and see error,

2) go to $HOME/.cache/yay/gtk2

3) and do the clone shadow with deopth 1 as git clone --depth=1 --branch 2.24.33 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk.git gtk inside the gtk2 dir package

4) and then redone with yay -Sy gtk2 at the home dir..

it will use the cache if you dont pass u flag to yay

Manually it can be build also, cos gnome shit guys have a huge repo so depth=1 must be parset and set manually to work!

1) clone the git arch package git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk2

2) cd gtk2 and then git clone --depth=1 --branch 2.24.33 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk.git gtk

3) modify the PKGBUILD and chage the first line source to 'gtk'

4) modify the PKGBUILD check first line to 'SKIP'

then makepkg

For anyone who can't compile gtk2 anymore you can try this fork: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk2-ng-git

It's a patched version for modern compilers and contains many improvements and bugfixes
