This is a dependency of qt5-webengine, you have to rebuild that package.

Since the last vpx update the package doesn't compile any more:

/usr/bin/ld: warning: libvpx.so.11, needed by /usr/lib/libQt5WebEngineCore.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)

Just creating a symlink from libvpx.so.12.0.0 to libvpx.so.11 makes the existing binary work again.

EDIT: Recompiling is the better solution: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qt5-webengine Thanks!

andreas_baumann, bezerkk, Thanks!

I downloaded a pre-compiled qt5-webengine from https://sourceforge.net/projects/fabiololix-os-archive/files/Packages/ And then "sudo pacman -U qt5-webengine-5.15.19-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst"

Then the kchmviewer did compile without errors. Thanx!

Did you also rebuild qt5-webengine (or used a binary package mentioned there because building takes aeons)?

COPYING says GPLv3

qt5-webengine in depends might get qt5-base in as dependency, so makedepends qt5-base seems superflous.. (adding qt5-base as makedepends doesn't hurt though, so I did. :-) )

dreieck commented on 2025-11-26 10:09 (UTC)

The license identifier needs to be made SPDX compliant: 

kchmviewer E: The SPDX license statement 'GPL' should be formatted as 'GPL-1.0-or-later' instead

Maybe you mean GPL-2.0-[...]?

dreieck commented on 2025-11-25 23:47 (UTC)

Please add qt5-base to the makedepends array because it installs the needed qmake-qt5.

Regards!
