Today I updated the Aur with version 14429. As there was quite a big change (GTK3 vs GTK2), it didn't compile that easily.

I ended up modifying mkfile, which was originally downloaded from uppbox/lpbuild2/. So, it might be interesting to update that folder accordingly or add my mkfile too:
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/mkfile?h=upp

I'm not so versed in makefiles, so it may be done in better ways. One thing that I wonder is why I had to add all the libs in LDFLAGS... aren't they be supposed to be taken automatically by the linker?
Anyway, it works now and uses clang.

BTW, have you tried "official" install package? E.g. nightly from https://www.ultimatepp.org/www$uppweb$download$en-us.html

Also, there are now autogenerated makefiles even in Repo, with ./configure, see https://github.com/ultimatepp/ultimatepp

Would these work for you?
