I'm not opposed to using yay with devtools if pulling in an AUR wrapper is appropriate; I'd just like to avoid having to manually install a bunch of dependencies by hand before I'm able to test if my PKGBUILD work is sound

Hi, extra-x86_64-build (and the other *-build commands) use makechrootpkg which can send some parameters to makepkg. One of them, -I is used to manually add packages to the chroot . (man makechrootpkg for more detail). example how it is used : extra-x86_64-build -- -I /path/to/my_first_package.pkg.tar.xz -I /path/to/second_package.pkg.tar.xz Every package pacman can't find in the chroot needs its own -I clause.
