Details

Description:

xxh_x86dispatch.h is not available with the xxhash package, in particular because DISPATCH is not set when compiling.

Changing the PKGBUILD from

make PREFIX=/usr DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" -C xxHash install

to

make PREFIX=/usr DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" -C xxHash install DISPATCH=1

From the github:

DISPATCH=1 : use xxh_x86dispatch.c, to automatically select between scalar, sse2, avx2 or avx512 instruction set at runtime, depending on local host. This option is only valid for x86/x64 systems.

This file (and its compiled part) is necessary to compile projects like medialibrary: code.videolan.org/videolan/medialibrary/.
Because of that, the project is currently planning on using a self-compiled version when building instead of the system one, even when the package is installed.

I'm available for further information.
This task depends upon
