@MBK I cannot exactly reproduce the problem here but according to your logfile, it seems to be caused by Qt6 sources being used from VLC's contrib directory instead of your system files. I had previously added a patch due to different behavior of qmake in Qt5 and Qt6 but did not take Qt6 sources from contrib into account. Latest commit should now work around the problem. If compilation still fails, maybe you could try to compile in a clean chroot as suggested by @xiota.

It worked when I installed it a couple weeks ago (I was already on qt6/plasma 6), but now the update fails:

Updated PKGBUILD to use Qt6 now. Be advised that Qt6 support in VLC consists of many recent changes and is probably not yet as stable as Qt5 support was (i.e. I currently get a lot of warnings in the console while running VLC).

@x-f Build scripts can be confused when both Qt5 and Qt6 packages are simultaneously available. Try building in a clean chroot to keep the packages isolated during build.

@knoelli I'll leave it to you to decide when to switch to Qt6.

I can't get vlc-git updated because it fails on QT enabled. I think a dependency is missing? QT 6.7 is installed

Hours to days to build even small programs is reasonable if built on old computer, single thread, allowed CPU usage limited, low RAM, swap on HDD, etc.

knoelli commented on 2024-03-25 21:17 (UTC)

@gothmog123 Do you literally mean hours? While this program is not chromium it still is quite huge to build with all codecs, interfaces, plugins etc. enabled (as is done with this package). Building requires quite an amount of CPU and RAM resources and a quick HDD/SDD, however compilation should not take hours. One thing to speed things up a bit is to check your file /etc/makepkg.conf. It defaults to an OPTIONS setting that builds packages with debug information enabled. You should look out for the line that reads something like OPTIONS=(strip docs !libtool !staticlibs emptydirs zipman purge debug lto) and put an ! in front of the debug option to negate it, so the above mentioned line would read OPTIONS=(strip docs !libtool !staticlibs emptydirs zipman purge !debug lto). Building packages without debug information saves some time during package compilation.

why does this take hours to compile..... it's not chromium or something

@vikbar54.9 I don't see any recent commits in libplacebo which would explain your described behavior. However, libplacebo is undergoing quite a lot of changes as of late, so it might well be, that VLC has to keep up with the latest changes. Unfortunately there's probably nothing I can do here right now, maybe you could report this issue to the VLC team here as it's a source and not a packaging problem.

vikbar54.9 commented on 2024-02-24 20:03 (UTC)

With regular libplacebo placebo, opengl and opengl es renderers are shown in video renderer settings but with libplacebo-git they can't be selected in video renderer settings.
