The culprit is that you copied the "meson setup" command from the wiki without actually adapting it to your case. The "source" and "build" statements in it have to be replaced by the actual "source" and "build" directory of the repo you're trying to build (notice how "source" and "build" are written in italic in the wiki [1], indicating that they have to be adapted to your case).Now after making those changes running it, it doesn't correctly git clone Neither source directory 'source' nor build directory 'build' contain a build file meson.build. and I believe this command is the culpritprintf "%s.r%s.%s" "$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0 | sed 's/^v//')" "$(git rev-list --count HEAD)" "$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)"because it git clones it "empty" as just the .git folder. Not all files https://bpa.st/XA5JI apologies for the redundant questions
Finally, "libadwaita" should be an actual dependency (not simply
a make one) I think.
Here's a fixed PKGBUILD:

I allowed myself to also make some small "best practices" and
"style" improvements to it as well: re-add the trailing ".git" at
the end of the source, switch to sha256 instead of md5 (I know the
checksum is skipped there, but better take the habit to use a
stronger algorithm for the potential future), better indentation
in functions, etc...
