Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The AUR is for Arch and trying to use it on a different distro will have mixed results at best.
You can either wait for Manjaro to catch up and add the glib2-devel package which was created over a month ago, or edit the plgbuild and change it to glib2
glib2-devel is available in Manjaro.
True. I think I'll switch to Arch proper soon.
You can always use Endeavour OS. It's Arch with a nice installer and some utilities already installed to make it easier to use and maintain. It uses Arch repositories, so for all intents and purposes, it is Arch. Manjaro is not.
+1 vote for EndeavourOS. Great Arch distro.
Normally you don't even need AUR for that since it's a core package for Arch. Unless Manjaro did something weird, you should be able to install it via pacman.
However I checked Manjaro packages and glib2-devel is the same version with Arch. Maybe try a whole system update before adding new packages?
glib2-devel is a core package and pacman should be able to install it directly. Have you updated your package mirrors and upgraded the system since you installed the machine?
I'm confused. Have you tried what is suggested in the arch wiki? Controllers are easier to get working on Linux than in Windows in my experience... And I'm on Manjaro. The Xbox 360 controller was considered the default for such a long time that in many cases, other controllers' buttons had to be remapped externally to match the xbox 360's in order to play games. It should be completely plug and play if your adapter and controller both work.
