@x-f Build scripts can be confused when both Qt5 and Qt6 packages are simultaneously available. Try building in a clean chroot to keep the packages isolated during build.

@knoelli I'll leave it to you to decide when to switch to Qt6.

I can't get vlc-git updated because it fails on QT enabled. I think a dependency is missing? QT 6.7 is installed

checking if required Qt plugins are installed with /../bin/qmake... no
configure: WARNING: qt runtime dependencies are missing, disabling qt interface
checking for Qt6QuickTest >= 6.2... yes
...
configure: error: The skins2 module depends on the Qt interface. Without it you will not be able to open any dialog box from the interface, which makes the skins2 interface rather useless. Install the Qt development package or alternatively you can also configure with: --disable-qt --disable-skins2.

Hours to days to build even small programs is reasonable if built on old computer, single thread, allowed CPU usage limited, low RAM, swap on HDD, etc.

@gothmog123 Do you literally mean hours? While this program is not chromium it still is quite huge to build with all codecs, interfaces, plugins etc. enabled (as is done with this package). Building requires quite an amount of CPU and RAM resources and a quick HDD/SDD, however compilation should not take hours. One thing to speed things up a bit is to check your file /etc/makepkg.conf. It defaults to an OPTIONS setting that builds packages with debug information enabled. You should look out for the line that reads something like OPTIONS=(strip docs !libtool !staticlibs emptydirs zipman purge debug lto) and put an ! in front of the debug option to negate it, so the above mentioned line would read OPTIONS=(strip docs !libtool !staticlibs emptydirs zipman purge !debug lto). Building packages without debug information saves some time during package compilation.

why does this take hours to compile..... it's not chromium or something

@vikbar54.9 I don't see any recent commits in libplacebo which would explain your described behavior. However, libplacebo is undergoing quite a lot of changes as of late, so it might well be, that VLC has to keep up with the latest changes. Unfortunately there's probably nothing I can do here right now, maybe you could report this issue to the VLC team here as it's a source and not a packaging problem.

With regular libplacebo placebo, opengl and opengl es renderers are shown in video renderer settings but with libplacebo-git they can't be selected in video renderer settings.

@Moebius14 Nvidia RTX VSR is currently only supported by VLC on Windows D3D11 output. The required code is only available in vlc/modules/video_output/win32/d3d11_scaler.cpp and has not been ported to any Linux output method.

Updated the package to remove the taglib v2 patch as commit ec29dfca fixes the issue.

vikbar54.9 commented on 2024-02-09 09:13 (UTC)

patching file modules/meta_engine/taglib.cpp Hunk #1 FAILED at 227. Hunk #2 FAILED at 1392. 2 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file modules/meta_engine/taglib.cpp.rej. Apparently this merge request https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/merge_requests/4877 is at fault.
