Hello! Sorry, this package is quite a mess, but it builds a working copy of Open RV, so hopefully it's a good first step for people.

Qt no longer needs to be downloaded manually. Thank you, michimussato, for the tip!

I've also tried replacing the entirety of the downloaded dependencies with Arch-provided packages, and you can see an attempt at commit 8d342dc. If you read the PKGBUILD there, you'll find that it takes a few too many environment variables to make RV just barely usable, but it does allow you to skip all the dependencies and use Arch's ffmpeg4.4 (now ffmpeg), which may support more codecs (that RV may not support regardless). Upstream has been discussing options for accomplishing this.

I was unable to build this package in a clean chroot due to some strange issues detecting the float word endianness while building Python and issues building libswscale as a shared library for FFmpeg, but given that those issues appeared again for Open RV 2.1.0, maybe it is possible now.

If you're looking to add aac codec support to RV's copy of FFmpeg like myself for playback purposes, you can uncomment sed -i '/"aac"/d' cmake/dependencies/ffmpeg.cmake under the PKGBUILD's prepare function. I'm not sure what implications this might have with RV's other functions.

Definitely do leave any suggestions you might have. I've personally very happy to have RV on Arch Linux, so if you feel the same way, we can hopefully keep making this distribution better. Thanks!

Hey meepzh

Re Qt: Instead of getting Qt with the official Qt installer, the official OpenRV Dockerfile(s) use aqtinstall to get all the Qt deps. I find that a neat trick there. Maybe worth considering for this repo.

@Tanghe : I believe I ran into the same issue (at least Ninja related; I didn't save the output after all and can't get it back). However, I finally managed to run my first successful build by disabling Ninja after it failed in the first place:

  • Package Details: openrv-git 2.1.0.r280.dd73ec4-1
export CMAKE_GENERATOR="Unix Makefiles"  # Uncomment to not use Ninja

Also, to enable audio (as suggested), I added

sed -i '/"aac"/d' cmake/dependencies/ffmpeg.cmake

to prepare()

Thanks 1000x @meepzh ! I appreciate your work!

Yeah the build is also failing for me. Thx for all the work btw.

Would be awesome if you could update this repo! Cheers, Michael

Hi @michimussato, sorry about that! Open RV has been changing at a fairly quick pace, so I haven't been keeping up the updates here. It's likely that something changed and broke the PKGBUILD. I'll see if I can get you an update in the next day or so!
