This is branch of kdenlive_builder script the original one; classic if you want. No GUI, not interactive, just a hardcore CLI script.

Use this version if the GUI version does not work for you or you want call script repeatively or you prefer CLI.

This branch is (semi)maintaned by Espinosa (me) and it i released on "works-for-me" basis.



This version should fix a lot of building problems coming with latest SVN sources of ffmpeg and mlt.

I have just successfully build the whole lot - 12.4.2008

Changelog:

• version 3.1 - major updates; adapt script to several changes in kndelive, ffmpeg and mlt builds; particulary:[/*:m]


• adapt to ffmpeg headers structure, add ffmpeg_headers_hack1, ffmpeg_headers_hack2[/*:m]


• set PKG_CONFIG_PATH (needed to build MLT libavformat module)[/*:m]


• changes in LD_RUN_PATH (really needed?)[/*:m]


• ffmpeg configure options names changes, namely: disable-stripping, enable-postproc, enable-swscale [/*:m]


• keep LD_RUN_PATH approach to 'link' ffmpeg and mlt libraries to kdenlive[/*:m]


• TODO: add sub directory creation as a first step as some users reported that theis version of svn tool does not do it automatically for them.[/*:m]


• TODO: refactor code, extract parts to bash functions; consider partial merge with GUI variant of this script [/*:m]

#!/bin/bash
# Script for easy and SAFE Kdenlive & ffmpeg & mlt & mlt++ build utilizing LD_RUN_PATH
# All subprojects are compiled and installed to specified non-system directory.
# You can safely keep multiple kdenlive/ffmpeg versions.
#
# This sript ensures, that kdenlive will call only desired ffmpeg and mlt libs.
# Using LD_RUN_PATH is a better, more general, alternative to statically link it all together.
# You can verify this it by calling
# cd ~/build/kdenlive/bin && ldd ./kdenlive
# - or -
# cd ~/build/kdenlive/bin && LD_DEBUG=libs ./kdenlive
# Set DEST_DIR in script, otherwise ~/build/kdenlive is used by default.
#
# Espinosa, Aleksander Adamowski (Olo)

#
# Usage:
#      kdenlive_builder getsources - call svn to get sources for all subprojects for the first time
#      kdenlive_builder updatesources - call svn to update 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
#      kdenlive_builder info       - print revision numbers and dates for each component


# 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=~/build/kdenlive.$(date +%F_%H_%M)   # ..uncomment this if you prefer to have 'timestamp' in target directory name

I created an extra page in kdenlive wiki. Please read this first if you are confused or interested in using the script:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Kdenlive_b ... sic_script

The new classic script worked great for me, thank you Espinosa!

I tried to adapt it for compiling the new kde4 version. I just changed the svn command to:

"svn co https://kdenlive.svn.sourceforge.net/sv ... nches/KDE4 kdenlive"

But at the end of kdenlive i get:

Any ideas how to fix that?

Same thing here. Any help would be appreciated.

I tried tweaking the script help it find the include directory, but my knowledge is limited in this respect.

Hi guys, the packages in Ubuntu are really poor, crashing constantly. So I tried to build from source using the builder script. But I get the same issue as above.....any help.....I'm desperate to get progbox 0.3 out the door.

Ok, I got it built. I had to make two small hacks.

1) I hacked up the script, line 287 becomes

export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -I$DEST_DIR/include/libavcodec/ -I$DEST_DIR/include/libavformat/ -I$DEST_DIR/include/libswscale/ -I$DEST_DIR/include/libavdevice/ -I$DEST_DIR/include/"

else it complains that it can't find the avcodec.h

2) Hack up a file in mlt source dir mlt/src/modules/avformat/Makefile

Change line 18, to read

LDFLAGS+=-L/home/pete/build/lib

However, even after doing this, it builds, but as soon as it starts, it segfaults, with this.

Any ideas??

cbx33,

I tried your ideas but still could not get MLT to build. It did progress further though so something is helping.

I just had the thought that you could back up the svn versions to some that worked with the sript. I used the other script on the forum successfully around March 23, 2008. I've been using the March svn version of kdenlive ever since. So you would need to manually use svn to rollback to whatever version of ffmpeg, mlt, mlt++, and kdenlive were around at that time.

useful commands would be: "svn log", "svn info", "svn update -r"

Also you might make sure kdenlive is finding the correct libraries when it runs. I have a script like this that I modified from the forums to run kdenlive:

#!/bin/bash

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

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

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

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

kdenlive

Geoffrey....

Could you give me some more information...namely

1) What is your error message, I will take a look and see if I can help on that one.

2) What revision number did you use? Is it possible to find it. If the most current doesn't build. I can always try that older one then. How stable is it?

Pete

The version from March 23 that is working for me is this:

fmpeg 12566

mlt 1107

mlt++ 1107

kdenlive 1919

To get the script to work I had to edit these files as indicated on the forum:

/home/MYDIR/programs/kdenlive/src/kdenlive/kdenlive/krender.cpp

line 28 becomes: #include

/home/MYDIR/programs/kdenlive/src/kdenlive/cmake/modules/FindLIBFFMPEG.cmake

line 6 should have: libavformat/avformat.h

I did use the kdenlive_builder_31 script, and modified it slightly, it is also attached.

It's been fairly stable, but does crash occasionally. I just save lots of different versions. Seems more stable when I use the RAWDV format compared with Type 1 or 2 AVI. Also seems to have more problems when the videos get longer with lots of clips and transitions, but that is just subjective.

I'll upload the modified script also. It will need to be customized for your directories since I've hardcoded mine into it in a few places.

I hope this helps. Geoff

I'm getting this error, even after installing libavformat-dev package.

I couldn't understand what script you hacked. In the kdenlive_builder script given in first post of this thread contains only 226 lines.

I tried this Geoff, thanks. I'm getting a different fail now.

Working on it, I'll post he results

Ok, I changed the ffmpeg/libswscale/Makefile, line 20, to point to common.mak and not subdir.mak

Building Now...

I got a working kdenlive. Just need to test it for stability now. Thank you so much Geoff. If this works it's a credit for you in the show :)
