@andrewSC I'm getting a compile error during a clean build with yay on Arch linux:

I am building using makepkg -c as I have always done on an up to date manjaro system.

foggybrain: Are you building in a clean chroot? I just built commit dcc4520cd9257fdcc77582e18853e6f46ddb4a07 without issue locally (in a clean chroot). Let me know.

Package won't build, getting this error :-

Just made some updates to the PKGBUILD and can confirm it builds cleanly in a chroot. The libcaca issue should be resolved now since upstream merged in their changes to caca.c about a month ago (from today/this comment date). Let me know if there's any issues and I greatly appreciate the patience in my response!

What to do?

UPDATE: According to https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/26389, this is due to libcaca being too new. This error occurs with libcaca-0.99beta-20.

I get the same compile error that Wennadocta has, but regarding koynoyno's workaround uninstalling either version of Lua on my system is not an option, as I have essential software that requires either.

@andrewSC:

The following error related to pl_filter_haasnsoft is due to libplacebo upstream accidentally pulling the filter [1]. 

While reading through [1], I am not fully sure if it really was an accident. The problem admitted was that the haasnsoft filter was pulled without a previous deprecation warning. For now, it has been re-introduced in trunk but it remains deprecated:

extern const struct pl_filter_config pl_filter_haasnsoft PL_DEPRECATED;

Next, thanks a lot for your help with libplacebo-git:

You need to build `libplacebo-git` and install it in the chroot before building `vlc-git`. Here's a super quick update I did to the `PKGBUILD` [2] to get `libplacebo-git` to build (aur version was not building for me).

Meanwhile, the libplacebo-git maintainer has listened to feedback from comments and has separated the libplacebo-git 32 bit version from the 64 bit version. However, there are still a few things to be taken into consideration.

First, there seems to be a new dependency spirv-cross that needs to be included as otherwise, you get

Run-time dependency spirv-cross-c-shared found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)

trying to build libplacebo-git. Next, there is

../libplacebo/src/meson.build:48:0: ERROR: C shared or static library 'version' not found

That can apparently be avoided by disabling d3d11 in the meson options in the PKGBUILD. See my comment to [2].

Once the next libplacebo release is cut, libplacebo-git shouldn't have to be built in order for this package to build correctly.

That commit was made on 06 May already,and it appears to be still not included in libplacebo releases :(

Wennadocta, I had the same build error. I checked lua packages and turns out I have lua and lua52. Removing lua52 helped.
