I'm new to Arch Linux, but come from a Debian background. I'm sure to an Arch expert my request would be easy, but I'm still learning, even as a Web App Engineer. I'm not a C/C++ guy and have only a general familiarity with makefiles, so I would like some assistance on how to build this from source for Arch Linux if anyone would be so kind. I already have Git and the source pulled.
I think I probably just need some help to add a recipe for an Arch-based system, though I'd assume it would be largely the same, if not identical to the generic Linux one. Or could it be the build is the same, but the packaging is different? I see a cpack command in the Developer README, but only for DEB (Debian-based) and RPM (Fedora-based). Why no love for Arch users?
If I can't get it running, I'll probably have to abandon this great app I've been using for at least a decade for something more cross platform and modern.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
@Marco & @Rony Shapiro. Thank you so much! I didn't realize it at the time, but yes, this is exactly what I needed. It helped me find the PKGBUILD for Brave Browser too. I hope more of my favorite software (like Brave & Signal) will be supported natively on Arch soon. 🤓

Have you already read the documentation?
@Marco's reference to PKGBUILD is what you're looking for.
(Note to self: add updating install/arch/PKGBUILD to Linux release checklist)
