Davinci Resolve on Arch

There is an AUR package, but I had trouble to get it working. The first issue was qt5-webenging causing GCC segfault.

This is how I did using info from AUR, arch wiki and this post https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=237038

1. Install dependencies from AUR:

   yay -S qt5-multimedia libpng12 qt5-websockets
   

2. Install pre-compiled dependencies

   • Download pre-built qt5-webengine as I had GCC crash while building it: https://sourceforge.net/projects/fabiololix-os-archive/files/Packages/

   • Install:

     sudo pacman -U qt5-webengine-5.15.19-4.1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
     

3. Get the prebuilt package:

   git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/davinci-resolve.git
   cd davinci-resolve
   

4. Download DaVinci resolve ZIP and save it in that folder

5. Make sure your build dir is NOT in /tmp as it uses lots of storage:

   $ grep BUILDDIR /etc/makepkg.conf
   BUILDDIR=$HOME/tmp/makepkg
   

6. Build and install:

   makepkg -i
   

7. Start resolve:

   /opt/resolve/bin/resolve
   

8. If getting undefined symbol: _ZNSt3__117bad_function_callD1Ev at startup, then some custom libs are needed:

   mkdir -p ~/tmp && cd ~/tmp
   curl -L -o libc++-20.1.6-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst \\n'https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/libc%2B%2B/libc%2B%2B-20.1.6-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst'
   ll
   curl -L -o libc++abi-20.1.6-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst \\n'https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/libc%2B%2Babi/libc%2B%2Babi-20.1.6-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst'
   sudo bsdtar -C /opt/resolve/libs -xf libc++-20.1.6-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst usr/lib
   sudo bsdtar -C /opt/resolve/libs -xf libc++abi-20.1.6-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst usr/lib
   cd /opt/resolve/libs
   sudo mv usr/lib/libc++*.so* . && sudo rm -r usr
   

9. Try starting again:

   /opt/resolve/bin/resolve
