expat dependency is still missing:

$ readelf -d /usr/lib/libmakemkv.so.1 | grep lib
...
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libexpat.so.1]
...

$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1
/usr/lib/libexpat.so.1 is owned by expat 2.7.4-1

Shouldn’t the java-runtime dependency be optional? Like for the GUI version of the package?

Please add missing dependencies - openssl and zlib and expat.

Also please update pkgrel number when changing PKGBUILD file: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#pkgrel

@boarim I was coming here to ask the same thing. the main package doesn't need it and it works just fine with the current up-to-date openssl from the main repos. for now I've moved to installing that package for my NAS since it supplies makemkvcon as well and doesn't have the requirement.

Sorry for the silly question but why is there this dependency on openssl-1.1 (EOL reached on September 11, 2023)? What’s preventing the package to move to the current version of openssl included in the official repos of Arch?

@Batou That means you need to register your copy with

makemkvcon reg <LICENSE_KEY>

So weird... it complains that the version is too old yet it's literally the latest version on the official site.
