- cmake
- flac
- fontconfig
- freetype2
- fribidi
- git
- harfbuzz
- jansson
- lame
- libass
- libbluray
- libogg
- libsamplerate
- libtheora
- libvorbis
- libvpx
- libxml2
- meson
- nasm
- ninja
- numactl
- opus

    sudo pacman -S base-devel cmake flac fontconfig freetype2 fribidi git harfbuzz jansson lame libass libbluray libogg libsamplerate libtheora libvorbis libvpx libxml2 meson nasm ninja numactl opus python2 speex x264 x265 xz yasm

To build the GTK [GUI](abbr:Graphical User Interface), install the graphical interface dependencies. Requires the GNOME desktop and associated packages, e.g. installed using `pacman -S xorg xorg-server && pacman -S gnome gnome-extra`.

    sudo pacman -S dbus-glib gstreamer gst-libav gst-plugins-base intltool libgudev libnotify webkit2gtk

To build with Intel Quick Sync Video support, install the QSV dependencies.

    sudo pacman -S libva libdrm

Arch is now prepared to build HandBrake. See [Building HandBrake for Linux](build-linux.html) for further instructions.
