kdenlive on MacOSX available for testing

 After some days and nights of trying without progress I thought i publish what I did. Maybe someone can use the information for his try to get kdenlive to mac. Or tell me where I made mistakes.

My try to install Kdenlive on MacOSX

Most of the dependencies are available from Macports (www.macports.org) . I will list the Macports port names for the available packages:

qt4-mac kdelibs4-devel libsdl libsdl_image libxml2 libdv libdv x264 libtheora XviD libogg libvorbis lame libquicktime faac faad2 libsamplerate jack sox libmad libmad gdk-pixbuf pango

Note: alltough the qt4-mac package exists I compiled qt4 manually because somehow I did not find the header files (which are under /opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac/include/. I just did not find them! In the following it should therefore be possible to use /opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac/include and /opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac/lib in the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variable)

(use Apples gcc-4.0) ./configure -prefix /opt/local/Trolltech/Qt4.4.3 -no-framework && gmake && sudo make install 

Note: gcc42 is needed for kde4 but is not included as dependency. It has to be installed manually.

Note: x264 is slightly outdated. For compilation of ffmpeg's svn version a recent version is needed. Adopt the version/checksum in the port file and install the new version.  

Note: to get kde icons and avoid errors while starting kde4 programms one should also install kdebase4-runtime from macports.

not available trough Macports: dvgrab libschroedinger libgsm ladspa "speech codecs" frei0r

dvgrab

Dvgrab  depends on libraw1394 which only available on linux platforms, so I think it will not be available for other unix platforms.

dvgrab-3.2.tar.gz

Dirac lossless codecs

get schroedinger-1.0.5.tar.gz from http://diracvideo.org/download/schroedinger/ and use configure/make/make install

get dirac-1.0.0.tar.gz from http://sourceforge.net/projects/dirac and use configure/make/make install

GSM codecs

get gsm-1.0.12.tar.gz from http://kbs.cs.tu-berlin.de/~jutta/toast.html and change the directories in the Makefile to fit your needs. Then run make/make install 

Ladspa

I got the ladspa header file from ladspa.org and copied it to my include directory. The plugins are available from plugin.org.uk as dmg for Macs. To get the binaries listplugin,applyplugin and analyseplugin one has to download ladspa_sdk and do configure/make/make install

Speech codecs

for speech codecs look at http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/amr:

amrnb-7.0.0.2.tar.bz2

amrwb-7.0.0.3.tar.bz2

extract with tar -xjvf amrnb-7.0.0.2.tar.bz2 and use standard configure/make/make install procedure

frei0r video effect library

some of the frei0r effects depend on the gmerlin library (gmerlin.sf.net) so one should install them? the procedure is configure/make/make install

another optional dependency is Intel's opencv which is available through Macports

for frei0r look http://www.piksel.org/frei0r / http://propirate.net/frei0r/latest.tar.gz

do configure/make/make install 

DOES NOT WORK FOR ME BECAUSE OF LINKER PROBLEM/ only with shared libraries disabled (./configure --enable-shared=false) a build is possible. I think some changes in the Makefile would solve the problems.

ffmpeg

make

Note: frei0r effects and kino module are disabled automatically.

At some point the make process finished with an error. -lQtCore was missing to get QMutex library functions. This problem was only at one file(cd src/modules/qimage && cc -dynamiclib -o ../libmltqimage.dylib factory.o producer_qimage.o qimage_wrapper.o -L../../framework -L/opt/local/Trolltech/Qt4.4.3/lib -lQtGui -lQtCore -lmlt -lstdc++ ). I linked this one manually and then repeated make. I also had to trick a bit to get Qt4 found in the configure process. I changed line 73 from:

                if test -f $qimage_libdir/libQtCore.so && [ "$force_qt3" = "" ]

to:

                if test -f $qimage_libdir/libQtCore.la && [ "$force_qt3" = "" ]

make install

svn co https://mlt.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mlt/trunk/mlt++ mlt++

./configure --prefix=/opt/local && make

make install

kdenlive

svn co https://kdenlive.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kdenlive/branches/KDE4 kdenlive

cd  kdenlive && mkdir build

cd build

cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/local -DNO_JOGSHUTTLE:BOOL=TRUE -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug

make && sudo make install

The whole build progress worked fine, but now the real problems start:

running inigio (mlts stand-alone player)

inigo correctly shows text file, flash movies and some other movies. At some files it only plays the sound correctly and at others it fails completely

what also works is : $ inigo colour:red

When inigo fails to play the output (in gdb) is:

2009-01-04 11:07:47.872 inigo[261:813] Warning once: This application, or a library it uses, is using NSQuickDrawView, which has been deprecated. Apps should cease use of QuickDraw and move to Quartz.

[Switching to process 261 thread 0x4503]

The warning is because SDL which is used by inigo uses some deprecated interface to Mac OsX graphics. Thats a known problem at the SDL project.

Note: the video files for which inigo exits with this segmentation fault are played correctly with ffplay.

starting kdenlive

to start kdenlive one has to start dbus and set the corresponding environment variables. This is done by:

$eval `dbus-launch --auto-syntax`

Note: the no_x11 variant of dbus should be installed to avoid a X11 server startup at each kde programm start.

then start /opt/local/bin/kdenlive.app/Contents/MacOS/kdenlive in a terminal to see the log output and hope that all works fine.

I get the following error:

Maybe someone else can use this information if one tries to bring kdenlive to mac. 

 On my PowerPC mac kdenlive still crashes on startup, altough the SDL patch allows to see a window after the initial wizard window. 

I think the crash is related to the same thing as the crash of inigo i posted earlier. 

inigo crashes with signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.

Reason: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at address: 0xea80ea80

[Switching to process 23999 thread 0x4503]

0x937541b4 in pthread_mutex_lock ()

kdenlive crashes with the same signal:

i have libsdl and libsdl_image from macports:

   libsdl @1.2.13_2 (active)

  libsdl_image @1.2.6_3 (active)

 Yes i have an ppc mac! I think this is the biggest problem in my case!
