ffmpeg 7 breaks openmw

openmw 0.48-7

Building openmw trunk against ffmpeg 7 fails . I filed a bugreport and was directed to https://gitlab.com/OpenMW/openmw/-/issues/7182

Since then an arch user posted on forum about issues with openmw 0.48-7 from extra and an openmw dev responded to the upstream BR 7182 and asked me to file this bugreport.

Currently the only solution that is known to work (and will keep working) is to build openmw against ffmpeg 4.4 . Note that this requires adding export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR='/usr/lib/ffmpeg4.4/pkgconfig/'to the PKGBUILD to ensure cmake will find ffmeg 4.4 .

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
