Any way to get libswscale.so.0?

I'm trying to get OpenITG running on Arch currently, and managed to get most of the library dependencies nailed, but this one has me stumped currently. Can't seem to find a package that has that particular library on both official and AUR. I noticed that libswscale.so.2 exists on the computer though (seems to be part of ffmpeg).

I'll likely try it myself in the next hour or so, but I have two different ideas (not entirely sure how well they'd work though):

- Rename the libswscale.so.2 library, throw it in OpenITG's folder
- Download architecture-specific libswscale.so.0 from another distro and throw it in OpenITG's folder

Don't do this. soname bumps happen for a reason (i.e. ABI incompatibility). Masquerading a soname file as an earlier (or later) version will lead to program instability.

What you need to do is build an old version of ffmpeg and install that in a way that doesn't conflict with the current version. See the ffmpeg-compat package for an example.

Can't you rebuild it against the new library?
