Today I downloaded the git repository for gtkwrite.
I followed the instructions in the README.md and compiled and generated gtkedit.
I inspected my include directory for the gtksourceview* directories and found that I had
both gtksourceview-3 and gtksourceview-4 installed. I suspected that I also could have
installed gtksourceview-5 from AUR if I had wanted.
As per the README.md file:
  $ make clean
  $ make with=-DWGTKSOURCEVIEW-4
and generated the gtkwrite executable.
I did not install the program because I was not familiar with the PKGBUILD file.

Because this package has been withdrawn I do not know how this will build against the PKGBUILD
file. I suspect PKGBUILD will need to be modified.
