From results of https://koschei.fedoraproject.org/package/mlt , I guess mlt started to fail to build since this change . mlt builds with module for SDL1 and module for SDL2, so [1] is correct ? what devel packages should we use to build with SDL packages ? and SDL2_image-devel could be along SDL3-devel ? Regards, [1] BuildRequires: SDL-devel BuildRequires: SDL_image-devel %if 0%{?fedora} >= 42 BuildRequires: SDL3-devel %else BuildRequires: SDL2-devel BuildRequires: SDL2_image-devel %endif -- Sérgio M.
