I have not been able to compile ffmpeg-7 on current OpenBSD -current. But I have been able to compile the ffmpeg-6 version (custom build), I have even been able to enable Vulkan and libplacebo output, as well as hwaccel using VAAPI and Vulkan (for h264, h265 and AV1 on Vulkan) using the current Mesa from Xenocara (it requires some trickery but it works). Of course, not everything is perfect. If I compile with shared_libs ffmpeg tends to fail quite a bit (I imagine there are some tweaks missing with the compiler here). And the Vulkan and libplacebo outputs have some errors on 10-bit videos. In any case, I think that the fact that we are not moving to ffmpeg 6 (which is the best option for OpenBSD due to long-term support) is due to the need to rework several patches for different ports, a fairly large job. -- "Dios en su Cielo, todo bien en la Tierra" ***********************************************
