AvsFilter will not be easy to package, it has dependencies on wine and requires AviSynth to be installed in the users wineprefix to work. It also need to install a few files in the wineprefix itself.

Compiling this from source seems to require a Microsoft Visual C toolchain. It may be possible to port the build system to compile with mingw32 cross compiler or winebuild.

Can't even tell if this is still a thing anymore. Checked the website linked, and there was nothing. Anybody care to chime-in before I close this?

AvsFilter is dead. Anyone interested in AvsFilter features could use vapoursynth from ppa:djcj/vapoursynth PPA or ask AviSynth+ developers about Linux port progress.
