Now I get the dragging a video clip into the stage error.....can't add any video clips....

Must be an underlying issue somewhere.

Damn it!

Sorry it's not working.

My last suggestion would be to make sure you are only using the new svn versions.

-make sure the mlt..., mlt++, and kdenlive system libraries and dev files are not installed before building

-i also had to uninstall sox.. as it kept trying to use the system libs (this leaves out sox support within ffmpeg)

-make sure to use the script below like to run it after it builds (edit with your directories) otherwise it might try to use incompatible or missing libraries in they system folders:

========= RUN THIS AS A SCRIPT SAVE TO kdenlive-run.sh

#!/bin/bash

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/geoffrey/programs/kdenlive/build/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

export PATH=/home/geoffrey/programs/kdenlive/build/bin:$PATH

CPUS=$(cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | tail -1 | awk '{print $3}')

export MLT_AVFORMAT_THREADS=$(($CPUS + 1))

kdenlive

=========

I really can't offer any more suggestions - I'm just lucky to have a working version I guess.

I'm surprised I did get it working, I'm starting to learn and make some sense of this programming stuff.

I hope the developers come up with some revisions in the near future. From my (non-developer) perspective it looks like the problems are due to the constant changes in the ffmpeg svn and moving around of libraries/includes or differences between libraries locations on different linux distributions. MLT and kdenlive have not completely caught up.

Also, from what I can tell in the forums, it seems as though they are spending more of their time working on the KDE4 version instead, which may be a good thing in the long run.

Good Luck, Geoff

Hey Geoff,

Ok, I did have things installed whilst I was building so I will try that.

I did get the old 0.5 working, but I now have issues with the volume plugin. Typical eh?

I'll try that

Pete

If the KDE4 version builds I'd happily use that instead ;)

Here's a few more thoughts on using the March 23rd SVN version ..

1- I've occasionally needed to delete the kdenliverc file if it starts crashing on startup.

it's here: ~/.kde/share/config/kdenliverc

2- I have ubuntu's system > preferences > sound set to alsa. Seems to work better with that setting. (Make sure libsdl1.2debian-all is installed).

I am trying to comple Kdenlive with AC3 audio support on Hardy. First I tried the gui script then I tried the classic script 3.1

I get this error when building... Can anyone help?

Hi everyone!

I downloaded and installed the script on Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 (not Kubuntu).

Downloaded the sources from svn flawlessly.

FFMPEG compiles well, but when the job passes to mlt, i have this error:

cc -shared -o ../libmltsox.so factory.o filter_sox.o  -L/usr/lib -lsox -lsfx -lsamplerate -L../../framework -lmlt
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsfx
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [../libmltsox.so] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/mzambianchi/kdenlive-svn/mlt/src/modules/sox'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mzambianchi/kdenlive-svn/mlt/src/modules'
make: *** [all] Error 1

You could try installing the latest sox from http://sox.sourceforge.net/, which I think I did get me past this point. (and first uninstall sox using synaptic)

However, most of the recent kdenlive/ffmpeg/mlt I've tried have been unstable. The last version that worked well (but still had annoying crashes) for me was several months old. I've given up trying to use anything new.

Hi, I am having a problem with the script on a Gentoo install. It gets to the kdenlive configure and then gives the following error:

CMake Error: This project requires some variables to be set,
and cmake can not find them.
Please set the following variables:
QT_INCLUDE_DIR (ADVANCED)

As a guess, I tried building after entering "export QT_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/qt/3/include" into the terminal, and then with "export QT_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/qt4", but it doesn't make any difference. Can anybody tell me how I should set this variable? Thanks in advance!

to use your script to compile kdenlive on my debian sid updated, i must do some changes in "/home/luigi/applicazioni/kdenlive/mlt/src/modules/qimage/configure".

- line 33: qimage_libdir=/usr/lib/qt4 -> /usr/lib

- line 38: qimage_libdir=/usr/lib/qt3 -> /usr/lib

i know that is a problem in mlt, but, maybe, it is useful here.

ciao
