@knoelli THANK YOU! It works fine now.

@MBK, @Atticus, @enesefendi and everybody else who recently encountered compilation problems: I was finally able to reproduce the problem on a machine here and found the problem. The configure script checks for the existence of ${CONTRIB_DIR}/../bin/qmake which, with ${CONTRIB_DIR} not being set equals to /bin/qmake. This is the Qt5 binary of qmake (for Qt6 on Arch it is named qmake6). This results in the configure script to use Qt libraries from contrib where they aren't complete right now.

To cut a long story short: latest commit adds a patch to fix this problem and the package should now compile without the recent problems.

@MBK vlc-git built in a chrooted environment still has problems.

@enesefendi Instructions to build in a chrooted environment are here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot

@Atticus fyi, vlc-git 4 works perfectly in wayland (before the latest package update that broke the build system). It has a completely new ui compared to vlc 3.

Atticus commented on 2024-04-05 20:09 (UTC)

@Knoelli, I-'m reporting the same build errors, as enesefendi, in a non chroot environment.

@enesefendi, I-'m also having problems getting VLC (package vlc) to run correctly in Wayland.

enesefendi commented on 2024-04-05 19:35 (UTC)

@knoelli so kind of you to assist me mate, appreciated.

But i really had enough with the wayland stuff. Nothing works for me. I'll go back to x11 and openbox where i was happy :)

knoelli commented on 2024-04-05 19:31 (UTC)

@enesefendi The problem seems to be the similar to the one reported by MBK earlier. I cannot reproduce it here but I think it has to do with your build tree containing VLC supplied Qt library in "contrib" which lacks required plugins. Please try to build in a clean chroot environment as described by xiota earlier.

MBK commented on 2024-04-05 15:05 (UTC) (edited on 2024-04-05 15:06 (UTC) by MBK)

@knoelli It still fails in the same way. I'll see about the chroot. Thanks for the feedback.
