I utilize MakeMKV to assist in the playing of blurays on my Linux box. For some time now, the version from the AUR has failed to build on my computer. I was able to continue to get by with the flatpak, but I’m wondering if the AUR version would integrate more seamlessly with VLC and Kodi. Unfortunately, I can’t install it to test my theory.
Terminal output is as follows:

I’ve tried pamac, pacman, yay, and the Add/Remove Software utility. Same result, every time.
Any ideas? Thank you in advance!
