What was the error that you received when you executed these steps? What was the missing dependency?

make is the missing dependency, the error is PKGBUILD: line 31: make: command not found

Sorry for the slow reply (I don't check github very often)

@Jguer i guess the solution is to add 'make' as a makedepends to the PKGBUILD for yay and yay-git

it should also be added as a dependency in the Arch User Repository (idk about any other repos)

make is part of base-devel which is an assumed dependency to use the AUR, it is not added to PKGBUILD deps.
