New comment by ifreund on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/21715#issuecomment-627004264 Comment: Yeah, i think my environment must have been messy. I zapped everything and it worked fine with vips as the template as you said it would. Was not aware of the `gir` build helper, that's super handy! Hopefully this is good to go now, I've certainly learned a lot about `xbps-src` working on it.
