Applying patch to AUR

Hi, could someone help me out with installing a program?

I'm trying to install this:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cctv-viewer-git

Of course it fails:

error while loading shared libraries: libavformat.so.59: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'm trying to apply the patch that is listed on the AUR page, but have no idea how. Also I am not sure this fixes it anyways, because the problem seems to stem from ffmpeg. And I don't know which version of ffmpeg I'd need to install to make this work either.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Re: Applying patch to AUR

Did you rebuild cctv-viewer-git after you updated to ffmpeg 2:6.0-3?  I just built the package and the binary cctv-viewer was not linked to libavformat.so.59 but only to libavformat.so.60.

Re: Applying patch to AUR

Save the patch as a file and run "git apply" on it. But in this case it might be easier to jast add

sed -i "s/Qt6//g" "${srcdir}/cctv-viewer/CMakeLists.txt"

to the prepare function of the PKGBUILD using a text editor.

Re: Applying patch to AUR

As the PKGBUILD only uses qt5 packages a clean chroot build would avoid qt6 being used without requiring patching.

What is the connection between qt6 and  libavformat.so.59?  Why would a fix for a build failure from before the ffmpeg 6 update be relevant to a runtime failure indicating the package has not been rebuilt?
