Description:
mkvtoolnix has a gui (mkvmerge GUI or short mmg), but it's built with the configure option --disable-gui.
It would be nice if the gui would be built, too.

I know there's a package in AUR, but as the gui is part of a package in [extra] I think it should be available in [extra], too.

Isn't it possible to build it as a split package, e.g. mkvtoolnix and mmg or mkvmerge-gui?
This task depends upon

"that's how the maintainer decided"
Is there a reason why the maintainer has decided it this way? I mean it doesn't make much sense to compile this package twice just to get the gui. Otherwise giving the reason in one of the 3 feature requests would be nice.

Giovanni: Any reasons why the GUI were disabled? It isn't the first time a user request to add the GUI.

And there are 78 votes for the AUR package mkvmerge-gui.

I just built with the GUI.
I'm working for a splitted package (hopefully with qt GUI too).
Stay tuned!
