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.

Issues and bugs, please report on the official forum here: https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewforum.php?f=21&sid=239f0d5c49abe5d6a635b69638192e9a Thank you!

Visit DaVinci Resolve - ArchWiki before installing: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DaVinci_Resolve

ATTENTION: Please don't flag this package as out-of-date before beta version has been released as stable!

This is a current stable Package!

The current free beta is available here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/davinci-resolve-beta/

And for current studio beta here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/davinci-resolve-studio-beta/

Thanks.

Can someone please change the packagebuild, that i can install it normal over yay. I don´t know where i can change the diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD line. Yes i am stupid, but i think it should work for stupid users too.

@smw the workaround didn't work for me (resolve hangs at startup), but I didn't install libc++ from AUR. which package are you referring to?

@gamegard68

Thank you for the libc++ workaround! I can confirm that it worked for me, but I had to install libc++ from the AUR first.

A workaround:

cd /opt/resolve/libs

sudo mv libc++.so.1 libc++.so.1.orig

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libc++.so.1.0 libc++.so.1

Upgraded to version 18.6 successfully after adapting the PKGBUILD file. But cannot start the program anymore:

/opt/resolve/bin/resolve: symbol lookup error: /opt/resolve/bin/../libs/libdavcloudclient.so: undefined symbol: _ZTVNSt3__14__fs10filesystem16filesystem_errorE

Strange error now

The unpacked run file davinci-resolve/src/DaVinci_Resolve_18.6.0_Linux.run actually says 18.6 not 18.6.0. I did this...

 prepare()

There's a small error in 18.6.0. In particular,

_installer_binary=${_archive_name}.run

...which makes sense, except that ${_archive_name} is "DaVinci_Resolve_18.6.0_Linux", but the actual file is "DaVinci_Resolve_18.6_Linux.run" (notice 18.6, not 18.6.0).

Editing this in the PKGBUILD fixes the problem. I took the easy way out and just added the line

_installer_binary="DaVinci_Resolve_18.6_Linux.run"

immediately after the existing version above (line 105 of the unedited file).

Build failing in the prepare stage for me

I would suggest the following git patch to make this package work again using the 18.6.0 DavinciResolve software.

 prepare()

I tested these changes only with the davinci-resolve package.

The patch makes these changes:

1. pkgver=18.6.0: change to the new and latest version 18.6.0.
2. sha256sums=('18f391cc522a336553a32c0c8c3eb0f47e0f7478687a08aae1acbf49bfa34560'): new sha256sum of the zip archive.
3. _installer_binary=$(echo ${_archive_name}.run | sed 's/\([0-9]\)\.\([0-9]\)\.\([0-9]\)/\1.\2/g'): the .run file inside the archive now is named only using major.minor syntax, so I have removed the patch semver part from the .run file name.

I hope that this could be useful to fix the package for the maintainer or to install the package with manual fixes for the other ones.
