This package is now renamed to kwin-effects-better-blur-dx-git to be in line with the name change. If there's interest in keeping the old version anybody can feel free to do now.

Users that had kwin-effects-forceblur-git installed should migrate to this new name

new cmake deps seem to require vulkan-tools, get the following error without that group installed:

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:290 (message):

Attention X11 users: This package now only provides the effect for Wayland. You should install kwin-effects-better-blur-dx-x11-git

I filed an issue about this and the author now replied, package should build again.

@ShaiAvr This is a git package so expect breakages. The error is not a direct packaging issue. It's something you should report upstream on GitHub instead of here. They configured CMake to treat warnings as errors (default that comes from them using KDECompilerSettings).

When I updated my system today, this package needed an update. However, it failed to build. The last portion of the compiler's log is:
