Why is this package compiled with the debug option? That should be up to me to decide.

On the other hand, to compile it with the debug option you would have to add in the makedepends, at least in my case, the debugedit program.

And there are options that are deprecated: configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-realrtsp, --enable-sdl-image, --enable-aa, --enable-libtar, --enable-aribcam.

Alright so I spent some time trying to figure out what the path forward should be for the protobuf-lite issue and --enable-chromecast flag.

If you want chromecast support all you should have to do is:

1) Replace protobuf in the makedeps array with protobuf-git
2) Build protobuf-git from the AUR and install it in the clean chroot before building vlc-git in the chroot
3) swap --disable-chromecast with --enable-chromecast in the vlc-git PKGBUILD
4) Attempt to build vlc-git

It sucks and isn't elegant, I know. I decided to go this route instead of just making protobuf-git a makedep (instead of protobuf) and causing folks to have to build an AUR package just to have vlc-git (when they very well may not need or care about chromecast support) build correctly.

If there's an overwhelming response to pulling chromecast support then I'll introduce protobuf-git and we'll go that route instead. I just have a suspicion that it's not a critical path feature.

Again, greatly appreciate the patience! If anyone has other ideas on how to solve the problem please feel free to propose: I'm all ears!

Hey folks, just an update i've set aside time tomorrow to take a look/work on this. Will follow up soon--thank you kindly for the patience!

It seems libssl and libcrypto aren't linked correctly.

Looking at my original comment, it might not be a great idea to override LIVE555_LIBS from the command line; the original configure.ac patch may be correct after all. Unfortunately I don't have an Arch system to test on, but I'd try rebasing the existing live555 patch, keeping the configure.ac diff and removing the live555.cpp diff.

Suggestions from @jmk and @hvksmr1996. Patch: https://gist.github.com/graysky2/8d2e5442ab46deb807cedfbf2b5c247c

Still gives build errors with

--disable-chromecast

1. The existing live555 patch should be dropped.
2. ./configure should be called with LIVE555_LIBS="-lcrypto -lssl", since Arch has live555 with OpenSSL, but upstream does not use OpenSSL for live555 in contribs.

Hey everyone, ran into an error that took me 1-2 hours to resolve and wanted to share here to help others out as well:

configure: error: Library protobuf-lite = 3.21.2 needed for chromecast was not found
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

I could solve the issue. I removed the installed protobuf and replace it with the self-compiled git package:

https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/protobuf-git

Then the version changed to the correct one:

Removing protobuf (21.2-1)...                                                                                                                                                                                                          [1/1]
Installing protobuf-git (3.21.1.r253.ga97262655-1)...

A version which I could not get via pacman or pip

Now the build runs!
