I would like to ask you about building Kdenlive using Craft.

I want to build Kdenlive downloaded from Git with improved source code.
Is Kdenlive build using Craft targeted for Kdenlive on the net?
Wouldn't it make sense to download the Kdenlive file from Git?

If you are building files from the net, what if you are building local files?

Please give us useful information.

MinGW is used as the compiler.

Hello,
To get help with craft you may join the craft chat room on IRC/Matrix/Telegram (any of the 3 protocols, they are bridged).
To build git version, once in craft environment, run "craft --target=master kdenlive" (without target argument, it builds latest release)

Note: craft will clone kdenlive git repo into [CraftRoot]/download/git/kde/kdemultimedia/kdenlive
you can apply your patches there...

What I want to go about is customizing Kdenlive.

1) Download the Kdenlive files locally from Git.
2) Rewrite the locally downloaded file (source code).
3) Build the rewritten source code.
4) Use the newly built Kdenlive.

These are the things we want to do.

Is it possible for Craft to build a locally downloaded file?

Yes that's what I said:
1) craft --fetch --target=master kdenlive
2) edit code in [CraftRoot]/download/git/kde/kdemultimedia/kdenlive
3) craft --target=master kdenlive
4) [CraftRoot]/bin/kdenlive
and if you want to distribute the build: craft --package --target=master kdenlive (the resulting package ends in [CraftRoot]/tmp

Thank you for your help.

Up to (1), it worked.
C:\CraftRoot\download\git\kde\kdemultimedia\kdenlive
The above directory and files are now created.

I rewrote the CPP file and did the command in 3).
I got an error.

Craft was unable to find master

Did I do something wrong?

Here some general hints about craft.

You have to setup craft and choose MinGW as compiler (MSVC doesn't work for build Kdenlive).

You have to build first Kdenlive with: craft -i kdenlive, then build the master: craft -i --target=master kdenlive. Settings "-i" makes sure all dependencies are updated as well.

Make your code changes.

Build Kdenlive again with: craft --target=master kdenlive.

Or: cb Kdenlive, craft --target=master --fetch Kdenlive, ninja, craft --target=master --install --post-install --qmerge kdenlive.
