I successfully built it in Macports 1.9.1 and 10.6.4. Also word to the wise, reinstall XQuartz after the latest OSX security update as it breaks the X server everytime. Its not perfect though and its running at 180% CPU and slightly choppy. I'll post something in the forum I suppose to see if anyone has a recommendation.

I've gone through several attempts installing kdenlive, including wiping out one of my cloned volumes, doing a fresh install of Mac OS X 10.5.8, fully updated, and installing MacPorts subversion. After hours of compiling, I'm left with one error. It is the "Qt qmake not found". All other dependencies seem to have gone through. If anyone can shed any light here, I would be very relieved. And it would keep me from going through another lengthy install.

Here's the tail end of the process:

If this does not provide enough info, I will be glad to provide anything requested. Let me add that I have done a sudo port clean --all all, updating, and retrying kdenlive install with the same end results.

Thanks.

Follow up: I am stuck. I cannot get past the "Qt qmake not found!" point. I've done svn, source, package installs on this Mac. I've cleaned, updated, and tried over and over to install. It's not going to happen. Not even a local port can complete without an error; Portindex will not parse the Portfile created by "Touch Portfile". Copying a modified Portfile (PortGroup KDE 1.1) produces the "+universal_command" error. And Googling for related topics produces no usable results. I am stymied at every turn.

Trac macports has not worked and I do understand the developers are very busy all over the place after looking all around. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

qt4-mac provides /opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac/bin/qmake
On my system, /opt/local/bin/qmake is symlinked to that file along with a bunch of other q utilities. I did not manually make all of those links so it must have been part of that package install.

Hello,

Having a very similar issue to markzymanski above... I posted a thread in the "install from source" area, but it hasn't gotten any response there - dunno if people consider macports not installing from source, so I figured I'd link what I have come up with so far here and see if any further eyes get on it in this thread. Let me know if anyone would like further details on anything or has any suggestions whatsoever.

Just wanted to get some feedback real quick about these errors - from my take on it, it appears to be CMake that is incorrect currently - the shared scripts it uses to try and find both phonon and Qt are not finding the appropriate items, though they are installed and appropriately functional.

Do any of the developers for kdenlive have any input or can you confirm that it is CMake that we should log a bug against? I want to get this resolved, but I want to put the ball in the correct court.

Having trouble building on MacOSX.6.4. I had create some symlinks as discussed this thread, but now I'm stuck.

Looking up the errno=22 on Google tells me maybe a -c flag is missing in a build file somewhere? But I don't have the slightest idea where to look.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I haven't gotten much farther with this, and I think the issue lies with the way CMake is setup currently (as the scripts with the bad paths and that fail to find the installed versions are from CMake's shared apps) - though I would like some confirmation on this.

Regardless, I believe the reason your symlinks aren't getting you any farther is because you are using the devel version of qt4-mac. I don't believe there is any issue with this, however you would need to make slightly different symlinks to move forward. For your symlinks using the devel version, you would need to replace any portion of the path that I noted as "qt4-mac" with "qt4-mac-devel". Then, you can move forward and see what other errors you get and what else you may have to hammer through.

Good luck.

I haven't had a lot of time to devote to this lately, but I'm going to keep working on it as time allows and I'll update with any new info I come up with.

Anyone still struggling with this problem, please see the fix noted by Jancha in the other thread I had started. The change to the portfile he notes works great. I now have a functional installation - now I just need to learn how to use it and see what's what.

Thanks much to Jancha and Romans for the information.

I'm stuck on the final step of the install process:

%open -a kdeinit4
Unable to find application named 'kdeinit4'

%open -a kded4
Unable to find application named 'kded4'

All the dependencies are installed correctly, so I'd like some advice, please.

Maybe your PATH is not yet updated. Try opening a new terminal window or rebooting.

I recently updated KDE to 4.5.4 (everything was working fine of 4.5.3) however now, whenever kdenlive tries to open up the file dialog, I get an error message:

Could not start process Cannot talk to klauncher: The name org.kde.klauncher was not provided by any .service files

I'm using OS X Snow Leopard, installed (successfully) from MacPorts, and have searched extensively for a solution/workaround to this problem. This seems to be a KDE thing, as another user is reporting that all kinds of KDE programs are failing with this error, however I'm wondering (a) if anyone else has experience this, and (b) what they've done to solve it.

BUMP. Some assistance regarding the Klauncher issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I tried this once about 8 months ago on a macbook and had similar results with most kde programs not working. I did get some command line apps working, but not much else. Please let us know if you figure this out. Geoff

My take is that working KDE apps on OSX is largely mythical. Posting in the Building from Source forum leads to deafening silence. My suspicion is that KDE apps require a pretty substantial infrastructure to back them up, and that kind of thing tends to work poorly on OSX.

I built from a freshly updated macports. Build and install were successful, but launching with the provided instructions gets me an application that is stuck forever waiting for a signal that pretty clearly isn't going to come.
