I don't use this package, but I'd like to understand why the maintainer should enable the Qt gui which is disabled by default:
--enable-qt compile the Qt version of the GUIs (no)

@Andrea: Then I can use it without the ugly QtCurve GTK widgets. The mkvtoolnix author added the feature for reason. Perhaps this package should be split into three:
--> mkvtoolnix: commandline, without gui
--> mkvtoolnix-gui: gtk/wxwidgets frontend
--> mkvtoolnix-qt: Qt gui

It'd be nice to have, and won't cause that much problems. (There's already a mkvtoolnix-nogui in AUR, but then of course no matching gui packages)

What I mean is that IF the maintainer enable the Qt gui, the GTK users will ask him to enable the GTK gui. In that case we should keep the default I guess.

Anyway a three-splitted package is the best option.

How I should change the PKGBUILD to build mkvtoolnix with Qt GUI?
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--with-boost-libdir=/usr/lib \
--enable-qt
./drake
That's right?

4 years later, the Qt GUI becomes default and it will even warn you that the wxWidgets ones were deprecated.

This bug report is kind of a duplicate of this one : https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/45439
