Is there an existing issue for this problem?

I have searched the existing issues

OrcaSlicer Version

nightly as of 23 Jan 2026

Operating System (OS)

Linux

OS Version

Whatever yay upgraded me to this morning (23 Jan 2026); Arch-based OSes don't seem to use version numbers; presumably because it's updated continuously

Additional system information

This is EndeavourOS, running on a x86 system.

Printer

This is definitely not relevant :)

How to reproduce

clone the repo
Try to install dependencies using ./build_linux.sh -u

Actual results

The script appears to require a package called "gstreamermm", but that does not seem to exist in the Arch repositories.

Expected results

I don't think the build actually needs gstreamermm, at least for my system it builds fine without it. Perhaps I'll come across something that fails later, but it seems happy to build and run, if I comment out that package.

Project file & Debug log uploads

This is what I got when I started:

dan@parsley OrcaSlicer]$ ./build_linux.sh -u resolving system dependencies for distribution "arch" ... Updating linux ... error: package 'gstreamermm' was not found [sudo] password for dan: :: Synchronising package databases... endeavouros 13.6 KiB 60.6 KiB/s 00:00 [--------------------------------------] 100% core 121.4 KiB 245 KiB/s 00:00 [--------------------------------------] 100% extra 7.9 MiB 8.04 MiB/s 00:01 [--------------------------------------] 100% multilib 126.9 KiB 263 KiB/s 00:00 [--------------------------------------] 100% error: target not found: gstreamermm [dan@parsley OrcaSlicer]$

Anything else?

I commented out the requirement to see what it broke in the build (in case it comes from something else that everyone else has installed), and I found that it doesn't seem to be required on my setup, after all.
