Werid build behavior arch linux

[tukot870]

Hello , I tried building on manjaro using aur and by following build guide but both resulted in errors . I have installed both ffmpeg and ffmpeg4.4 . Libs are located in /usr/include and /usr/lib like /usr/include/libavcodec/ . I have cuda 11.8 and g++-14 .

When building from aur the libs get found but other error shows (See below) . I tried to change PKGBUILD to change g++ version . I tried using g++-12 but it is broken on aur . So I downgraded g++ but it still showed no libs found . And also I have tried g++-10 and g++-11 .
When using ./configure nothing was found in all the versions .

When git clone:

./configure

libavutil, libavcodec, libavformat, libavfilter, libswresample are required to build nvencc.

When aur and g++-13 as in PKGBUILD:

1. I think we need more information for the below.

   checking libavcodec with pkg-config...OK
   checking for libavutil...no
   checking for libavcodec...no
   checking for libavformat...no
   checking for libavfilter...no
   checking for AVChannelLayout...no
   checking for AVFrame::duration...no
   checking for libswresample...no
   checking for AVCodecParameters::coded_side_data...no
   libavutil, libavcodec, libavformat, libavfilter, libswresample are required to build nvencc.
   

   After running configure script, file "config.log" is generated for configure logs, please have look and check for error reasons or attach the file.

2. g++-13
   Although I'm not familiar with aur nor PKGBUILD, gcc13 is not compatible with CUDA 11.8. I think you will need to update to CUDA 12.4 to be compiled with gcc13. (and I've not tested gcc14)
   Compile error on recent Arch #533

I can't upgrade because other programs use cuda 11.8 .
Aur is like a repo for packages that are not official in arch main repo . Official packages are compiled and aur's can already be compiled and then just installed but usually you need to compile it on your machine .

And PKGBUILD contains steps for installing and/or building
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=nvenc

This is the main page of package
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvenc

I can't upgrade because other programs use cuda 11.8.

The easiest way to build and avoid these kind of errors is to use the latest compiler and CUDA version which supports it. If it is difficult to upgrade CUDA, then I'm sorry but it might be difficult to build.

Building with gcc12 or below might do, but generally speaking, you might need to also rebuild the other required libraries such as libavutil, libavcodec, libavformat, libavfilter, libswresample.

From the log, you will need to fix the errors below yourself, which seems to be related with the libraries used. Generally, it is caused by mismatch of gcc version between the compiler currently used and the one used for building libraries.
