Since DaVinci Resolve Studio cannot be installed directly via AUR helpers like paru or yay, I suggest adding and pinning a clear step-by-step guide for beginners explaining how to build and install the package from the local installer.

The instructions should also include how to obtain the required .zip file from the official Blackmagic Design website:

  1. Go to https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support
  2. In the "Latest Downloads" section, select the latest version of "DaVinci Resolve Studio" for Linux
  3. Fill out the registration form (name, email, etc.)
  4. After submitting, a .zip file will be downloaded automatically – this file must be placed in the same directory as the PKGBUILD before building
  5. Continue ...

Such a guide would be helpful for users new to Arch-based systems who legally own a DRS license but are unfamiliar with manual package building.

IMPORTANT!

Since version 19.1.3-2 this package will not download automatically the source file from the upstream site.

To build this package you will need to manually download the file from https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/family/davinci-resolve-and-fusion and place it in the same directory with the PKGBUILD.

This would reduce the mess in this package, making it more readable and clear. Also bypassing the required information from the upstream URL is not allowed in an automated way.

There seems to be another missing piece:

❯ ll -l /opt/resolve/bin/BlackmagicRawAPI lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 Feb 6 13:41 /opt/resolve/bin/BlackmagicRawAPI -> squashfs-root/BlackmagicRAWPlayer/BlackmagicRawAPI

Note that "squashfs-root" in the path indicates it is a link to a file within an AppImage file system.

The fix is to modify PKGBUILD to make a symbolic link relative to bin:

-   ln -s "squashfs-root/BlackmagicRAWPlayer/BlackmagicRawAPI" "squashfs-root/bin/"
+   ln -s "../BlackmagicRAWPlayer/BlackmagicRawAPI" "squashfs-root/bin/"

which I fixed locally without rebuilding with this:

cd /opt/resolve
sudo rm "bin/BlackmagicRawAPI"
sudo ln -s "../BlackmagicRAWPlayer/BlackmagicRawAPI" "bin/"

The Gyroflow OFX plugin was failing to load with a seemingly unrelated log message

fuscript: symbol lookup error: /opt/resolve/libs/libc++.so.1: undefined symbol: __cxa_init_primary_exception

The fix is to link libc++abi just like the rest of the system libraries in PKGBUILD:

sudo rm -f "/opt/resolve/libs/libc++abi.so.1"
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libc++abi.so.1.0 "/opt/resolve/libs/libc++abi.so.1"

@00ein00, the AUR comments is not really the place to troubleshoot in-app issues. It's likely one for the Arch forums. Also make sure the audio is not AAC encoded, that will never work (see Wiki).

audio still not working on pipewire, despite trying fixes on wiki and installing various alsa packages

@friday13 that means your previous davinci-resolve-studio lacked those files, probably you deleted them

dmitsuki commented on 2025-01-26 03:25 (UTC) (edited on 2025-01-26 03:39 (UTC) by dmitsuki)

When running, I'm getting

/opt/resolve/bin/resolve: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: pango_font_description_set_features

Any ideas? My system is up to date.

Edit

I fixed it. I basically had to move lib pango out of the libs folder to use the system one, as described in the arch wiki. The wiki tells you how to do it, and the reference error you are getting is the library you should move.

The issue presented by bk2 on 11-17-2024 is still present. I just checked his edited fix and that also still works. Could that symlink be updated in PKGBUILD?

Edit: Updated for my own use. 

sha256sums=('b283db97bd7b639d142e0090c01e7e045afabecbc47a665b135026fcee5a28ee')

I also added the following lines to improve Fusion compatibility with add-ons such as Reactor:


mv "${srcdir}/squashfs-root/libs/libc++abi.so.1" "${srcdir}/squashfs-root/libs/libc++abi.so.1.orig"

ln -s /usr/lib/libc++abi.so.1.0 "${srcdir}/squashfs-root/libs/libc++abi.so.1"
