it seams related to https://github.com/mean00/avidemux2/commit/7aea49cd5defb6a43a27c78dd3658ad172d62a90 which was applied 2 month ago.

i've undone this change partially:

avidemux-qt5-git compiles and starts now.

How to fix this?

Patch proposition: https://pastebin.com/SFrLCNtC

• Add options to enable or disable qt5 and qt6 builds.
• Fix license.

After vapoursynth upgrade to r73, I can not compile this package anymore, due to missing VSScript.h file in /usr/include/vapoursynth (included from avidemux-git/src/avidemux/avidemux_plugins/ADM_demuxers/VapourSynth/ADM_vsProxy.h)

This file has been removed from vapoursynth in this commit: https://github.com/vapoursynth/vapoursynth/commit/ae7fa51078eacc75f0a6fba16eb4de9c21c6a80e

My workaround was to downgrade vapoursynth to r72, and that allowed me to build this package again.

Avidemux should probably switch to API4 (VSScript4.h) going forward.

:: jack2-1.9.22-1 and pipewire-jack-1:1.4.1-1 are in conflict (jack). Remove pipewire-jack? [y/N]

(I don't want to uninstall Pipewire)

It builds successfully now, thanks.

It doesn't build

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
