Simple build script for kdenlive + ffmpeg + mlt - use it!

Hi,

I've tried directly the 1st command: sh bootstrap

result:

Bootstrap is now trying to create a ./configure script suitable for Kdenlive
WARNING: running bootstrap is only usefull when checking out Kdenlive from CVS.

./admin/cvs.sh: 651: --version: not found
*** AUTOCONF NOT FOUND!.
*** KDE requires autoconf 2.53 or newer
make: *** [cvs] Error 1

After that, I tried the second one but "configure" didn't exist in the folder!

What to do after?

Cheers

This is really annoying me: I had exactly this error a couple of months ago, but am not sure what I had to do to fix it!

Try running this:
sudo aptitude install kdelibs4-dev libqt4-dev unsermake libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl1.2-dev libsamplerate0 libsamplerate0-dev libogg0 libogg-dev libvorbis0a libvorbis-dev libdv4 libdv4-dev libjack0.100.0-0 libjack0.100.0-dev sox sox-dev libxml2 libxml2-dev ladspa-sdk-dev libquicktime0 libquicktime-dev libtheora0 libtheora-dev ladspa-sdk swh-plugins libavformat0d libavformat-dev kdesvn build-essential libgtk2-dev libmad0 libmad0-dev autoconf automake1.9 dvgrab cvs subversion k3b dvdauthor

Those are all the dependencies you might need, I think that error appears if you don't have the 'unsermake' package installed, not certain about that though. :)

hi,
thx jeevesbond for your reply.

Unfortunately, all package are installed in the system even unsermake .

maybe it's a bug from (k)ubuntu feisty!?

I now get this error when trying to use the ffmpeg installed by this script:
/home/liam/build/kdenlive/bin/ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libavformat.so.51: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Have checked and libavformat.so.51 is installed in /home/liam/build/kdenlive/lib/ as it should be, yet ffmpeg doesn't seem to find it? Is anyone else seeing this problem, or is there a way to fix it?

That was the error it returned, my input was not included. Anyway, that's irrelevant, the script v2.0 has mysteriously started working. Hurray! The reason for using that version of ffmpeg is that it's a lot newer than the one provided by Ubuntu, mysteriously I can't seem to get an SVN version installed to /usr to work. As this didn't work thought I'd try your script's version instead.

Now Kdenlive refuses to render at all, that's not too much bother though: can just go back to the old 0.4 version when that's required. It's probably not because of your script either. :)

Hi,

this is an answer to leoon, just in case he has still problems with the script:

be sure you have automake1.6 (or 7, ...) and autotools-dev installed (do it from synaptic, for example). I had the same problem working with ubuntu-feisty and pretty sure solved installing these packages. If not let me know and I'll check the rest of packages needed.

Regards.

Hi!

I'm using the following script to launch KDEnlive built with espinosa_cz's script:

#!/bin/sh

build_dir=/home/olo/misc/soft/Graphics/KDEnlive/SVN/espinosa/build
export PATH="$build_dir/bin:$PATH"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$build_dir/lib
export LD_DEBUG=libs
$build_dir/bin/kdenlive 2>&1 | tee -a $build_dir/$(date +%F_%H_%M_%S)_log.txt

Because in order for the ld to locate the libraries built by the script, LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable is needed.

Otherwise you'll end up using the system-wide libraries anyway (or get an error if there aren't any available).

BTW, Espinosa, is there a page where one can always get the latest version of your script?

Here's my modified version that I'm using currently:

#!/bin/bash
# Script for easy Kdenlive & ffmpeg & mlt & mlt++ build utilizing LD_RUN_PATH
# All subprojects are compiled and installed to specified directory.
# This sript ensures, that kdenlive will call
# You can verify this it by calling
# cd ~/build/kdenlive/bin && ldd ./kdenlive
# - or -
# cd ~/build/kdenlive/bin && LD_DEBUG=libs ./kdenlive
# You can safely have multiple kdenlive/ffmpeg versions.
# Set DEST_DIR in script, otherwise ~/build/kdenlive is used by default.
#
# Espinosa
# v1.2olo - 28.6.2007
#
# Usage:
#      kdenlive_builder getsources - call svn to get sources for all subprojects
#      kdenlive_builder clean      - call make clean for all subprojects
#      kdenlive_builder build      - call configure and make and make install for all subprojects
#

# Modify the destination directory if you want
# Or you can copy it afterwars to /opt/kdenlive- or wherever you want.
# Caution: if you pick /usr here, you system kdenlive, ffmpeg  and mlt will be overwritten!
export DEST_DIR=~/misc/soft/Graphics/KDEnlive/SVN/espinosa/build

Hi all ..

thx herrej01,

but I get again an error .. with script V2

I've opened a project on Google Code project hosting for the tools by Espinosa and me:

http://code.google.com/p/kdenlive-dev-helpers/

I welcome suggestions and bug reports :)

I think -lmad is from libmad. Do you have libmad installed?

hello

i can now launch the application but ...

- i can't save any project ... i click on save, it's like it's ok, but i haven't the file saved ...
- when i try to drag and drop a video clip to the timeline kdenlive crash very often ...

On my laptop, i install the deb svn from Trevino repository (also on a stock and fresh feisty) and all work good apart some crashs ....

nyme

- i can't save any project ... i click on save, it's like it's ok, but i haven't the file saved ...

Read the "Important" section over here:

http://code.google.com/p/kdenlive-dev-h ... veLauncher

It might be a solution for you.

Nyme, you can try locating the cause of the crash using the GNU debugger.

Read the instructions here:

http://code.google.com/p/kdenlive-dev-h ... ngKDEnlive

...
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/4.1.2/bits/vector.tcc:249: internal compiler error: in var_ann, at tree-flow-inline.h:127
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See  for instructions.
For Debian GNU/Linux specific bug reporting instructions,
see .
The bug is not reproducible, so it is likely a hardware or OS problem.

Whoah, the compiler itself bombed out. That's a rare problem.

I suspect that you may have a hardware problem (most probably faulty memory) - to verify it, try building identical sources two times consecutively and see if the build crashes at different points - if it does, then you have to test your computer's memory (e.g. using memtest) and hard disks (e.g. using smartmontools) because it isn't reliable.

Just make sure that you start compiling under exactly identical circumstances - afer the SVN checkout of sources make a copy of all of them (ffmpeg, mlt, mlt++, kdenlive), and when the compilation crashes, note the errors somewhere, delete the sources, restore their copy and start compiling again.

It may also be a bug in GCC compiler itself - what distribution are you using? It might be good to report this problem to the distributors if it's indeed a bug in your distribution's version of GCC. But first test if your hardware is OK.

make: *** [install] Erreur 1

kdenlive seems to be working ... i don't know if this error is important ?

It seems like an error in installation of Catalan translation. Translations are usually installed at the end, so it seems that all critical files for KDEnlive operation have already been installed correctly.

KDEnlive will work fine, unless there was something important to be installed after the translations (because installation was interrupted by this error).

I don't speak French, what does the error message say?
