Hello, just received this error from a fresh MABS download and build. Cheers

Interestingly, the last zvbi commit seems to have been a long time ago on Jan 3 ... Commits on Jan 3, 2024

The last time I built MABS (same options, saved and then restored here for this fresh build) was 27 Jan, so this is a bit of a surprise.

Commented out vidstab and saw this console log:

Try running the build again at a later time.

Perhaps mediainfo ?

Got the same issue. Solved it by manually installing "gettext-devel" - seems that the gettext package did change and does not contain development related components anymore. So maybe adding "gettext-devel" to the dependencies in this project will solve the issue generally.

[hydra3333]

Hmm, adding that into here

if [[ $mediainfo = y || $bmx = y || $curl != n ]]; then
    do_pacman_install gettext-devel
    do_pacman_install libunistring

failed yielding

How did you do it ?

Thanks.

I simply opened msys2 shell from mabs package and ran "pacman -S gettext-devel". When running the mabs build I got the message that this package is not a configured dependency and if I want to uninstall it. I answered with "no" and it worked for me.

[hydra3333]

OK, in the above I replaced do_pacman_install gettext-devel with pacman -S --noconfirm gettext-devel and it seems to build. Cheers

Builds fine as of today, thanks.
