This package replaces the previous 'mythtv' AUR package. It has been renamed to comply with Arch's VCS package guidelines.

Should libmariadbclient be a runtime dependency? I get a database driver error when it is not installed.

Getting these errors trying to build:


/usr/bin/ld: warning: libavformat.so.61, needed by /usr/lib/libQt5WebEngineCore.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libavcodec.so.61, needed by /usr/lib/libQt5WebEngineCore.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libavutil.so.59, needed by /usr/lib/libQt5WebEngineCore.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libvpx.so.9, needed by /usr/lib/libQt5WebEngineCore.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)

UPDATE: Got it working by updating qt5-webengine using pre-built package from this comment.

@sultanoswing That's very odd, I didn't get these failures and I don't have icu76 installed but I do have the icu package installed, which provides the .78 version of those dependencies. qt5-webengine already requires the icu package as a dependency. Judging by this issue, it's qt5-webengine you need to rebuild instead of adding icu76: https://dev.to/hopsayer/arch-linux-aur-dependency-hell-debugging-the-icu-76-78-migration-4c7a

I can't get this to compile, with the error showing missing libicui18n.so.76, required by libQt5WebEngine:

/usr/bin/ld: warning: libicui18n.so.76, needed by /usr/lib/libQt5WebEngineCore.so.5, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libicuuc.so.76, needed by /usr/lib/libQt5WebEngineCore.so.5, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libQt5WebEngineCore.so.5: undefined reference to `icu_76::Formattable::Formattable(icu_76::Formattable const&)'

The icu package for Arch is now at version 78.2-1,so it looks as though the older 76 library is no longer available.

EDIT: Just installed icu76 from AUR, so we'll see if that works...

EDIT 2: Yep - installing icu76 allows successful compilation

@JohnLBergqvist, makes sense. Thanks.

@mark.clegg I'll bear that in mind, but I'd like this package to reflect what the "default" is, which is still qt5 I believe. However for the upcoming v36 release which should be early 2026, I will consider switching then, along with migrating to their new build process with cmake

mark.clegg commented on 2025-11-22 09:45 (UTC)

As it's probably likely that we'll see more of the qt5 packages dropped from extra and moved to AUR over the coming months. Is it worth considering incorporating @hedgepigdaniel's changes and switching the mythtv-git build over to qt6 anyway?

JohnLBergqvist commented on 2025-11-22 03:24 (UTC) (edited on 2025-11-22 03:25 (UTC) by JohnLBergqvist)

@hedgepigdaniel Actually, looking at this thread: https://lists.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2025-February/415098.html, qt5-webengine is only needed for mythbrowser which is a separate package on AUR (if qt5-webengine is not present or you are building with qt6, mythbrowser isn't built - but it wouldn't be built anyway here). As a result I'll simply just remove python-py5-qtwebengine and that will resolve the issue. I'll recommend that qt5-webengine is made a dependency of mythplugins-mythbrowser instead (I don't maintain that package and have no desire to start maintaining it)

@JohnLBergqvist

I'm not sure if it's related (I suspect not), but when building without disabling AMF I got the following error:

The referenced files are owned by amf-headers-git - not sure what is at fault.
