Arch Linux User Repository

@sasha my ffmpeg -version says 6.1.1 and my Manjaro is up to date. Building another ffmpeg on top of an existing one regardless its version seems just wrong.

@madjoe well i can't rly predict or account for what will happen with outdated packages.

@sasha: This approach conflicts with my existing ffmpeg 2:6.1.1-7. I can't just remove it, due to multiple requirements from other apps.

I made it build with ffmpeg6.1 for now so at least it will build and you know.. work. Maybe someone will fix it for ffmpeg 7 someday idk.

seeing as the upstream packages hasn't been maintained for quite a few years and as i haven't used loudgain myself for a long time i've just disowned the package.

If anyone wants to take over, please do so. For anyone else looking for an alternative maybe check out rsgain: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rsgain

seems like it's breaking again after the recent big ffmpeg update.

@gabor_zoka thanks, just added the patch

Hello @blubbblubb,

After a update on 2024-06-02 I needed the following patch to compile. Could you consider integrating it into PKGBUILD?

Cheers,

Gabor

@morganmay I'm still not sure why it fails on your system. I just tried it on another clean install and it works fine for me and seems to work for everyone else.

Did you try installing it in a fresh environment, maybe a fresh installation inside a vm?
