You can try to add to command line:
  --allowerasing to allow removing of installed packages to resolve problems
  --skip-broken to skip uninstallable packages

You almost certainly don’t want i686 packages.

I know, I don’t select them specifically, it’s how dnf works.

Maybe spin up a distrobox to sidestep the conflicts?

Thanks, but I prefer native builds directly on my OS of choice.

6

When you use a fedora image for your distrobox that doesn’t make it any less native?

7

I use a native Fedora installation and not that interested in extra layers like distrobox.

do you need video? ffmpeg is special when it comes to api compatibility. if you want to switch it off compile time, you could put into bin/config.mk

VKDT_USE_FFMPEG=0
export VKDT_USE_FFMPEG

and then make.

Try installing ffmpeg-devel from RPMFusion instead?

Thank you, this also works.

Now I need to find good learning resources for vkdt. The interface is pretty new for me

There is not a lot. Reading the manual :slight_smile:
