@Zeioth: The Natron package and OpenFX dependencies have been updated. The build is working now.

In my experience it's better to install Natron from the portable installation provided by Natron's webpage. Otherwise use flatpak.

Natron AUR packages have a huge number of dependencies that will usually fail to install or update. And take forever to compile.

@FirstAirBender: I updated the PKGBUILD of the openfx-io package.

Thanks for helping!

It was failing to compile for me so I had to make a few changes to one of the dependencies (openfx-io).

After it fails, create the following patch file (from the openfx-io master branch) and place it in the ~/.cache/yay/openfx-io folder:

git diff Natron-2.3.14 > master-patch.diff

Installation with pacaur failed/ends at fetching the necessary packages:

no results found for pyqt4

:: failed to retrieve pyqt4 package

I'm getting a large list of dependencies that need to be installed more than list shown above.

One in particular is Gimp! Surely I don't need to install that as a dependency do I?

When trying to install the package, the following error occurs:

==> Error: Could not find all required packages:
    qt-assistant-compat (Wanted by: natron -> openfx-io -> seexpr -> python2-pyqt4 -> pyqt4-common)
    qt-assistant-compat (Wanted by: natron -> openfx-io -> seexpr -> python2-pyqt4)

@kureta and @mzabielski: I'm investigating the problem in compiling the openfx-arena package.

For now, the package is optional, no longer interfering with the Natron installation.

@kureta - It looks like you have to install libiconv package to go further.

After doing that I've got also info about missing libraries, which you should install additionally: libxdgmime-git

After that I've got an error:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -linotify

I'm still looking for the missing package...

It looks like @technotercio has to add these packages as dependencies.
