there is something wrong with the arch package - someone should open a bug report - it is indeed missing GTK.star and a few others; but according to the published build recipe, those files should be present - probably you can just grab the PKGBUILD and run makepkg on it

How does the developers compile and run their code > when they are developing the software? if the program is designed to run only if installed properly, then that is how it's developers work on it - the developers would never have a package installed - they would probably be developing in a clean dev environment, not an "every-day" use system # edit code $ make && sudo make install && test-it # repeat
