Arch Linux User Repository

I got this working, just taking the arch pkgbuild and re-applying the changes to enable nvenc

Appears to be an upstream issue, not supporting the new version of CMake.

latest version 1.9.2-1 produces this error with latest cmake version 4.0.1-1:

Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 has been removed from CMake.

Also it seems to require gtk4 as dependency.

Possible to add "--enable-nvdec" to the PKGBUILD? I used "yay --editmenu -S handbreak-nvenc" to add it myself. Along with another long compile time.

It helped a lot on my old 1660. Converting a 1080P H264 to 1080P H265 got a decent speed up enabling nvdec.

stock arch handbrake = 11FPS Average.
handbreak-nvenc = 117FPS Average.
handbreak-nvenc +nvdec = 150FPS Average.

Will not build with vulkan-headers-1:1.3.240-1. Downgrade to vulkan-headers-1:1.3.235-1 works.

build fails with "python2" as compulsory make-dependency . But build succeeds with "python2" replaced by "python" in BUILD File

FabioLolix: I'm not sure what the issue is, the package builds successfully on a clean test environment?

python2 is not needed since v1.3.0 (https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/commit/e69fa923e9f0b98dbc057cf5d36287e7de833697), if you build in clean chroot can spot these things and you should since it is good packaging practice alongside analyzing builded packages with namcap

btw dependens don't have to be also makedepends (like x264 at first sight), dbus-glib and libnotify are no longer needed

muddy79: python2 is the dependency listed on https://handbrake.fr/docs/en/1.5.0/developer/install-dependencies-arch.html

FabioLolix: I'm not sure what the issue is, the package builds successfully on a clean test environment?

Hello, for ensuring needed depends and makedepends are met please build in a clean chroot; for convenience using extra-x86_64-build from devtools package https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot (this will also analyze the builded package with namcap)

Is there any specific reason to use python2 as a dependency? It seems I was able to build the package using python 3 (after changing PKGBUILD to depend on python instead of python2).
