This is a new version of the build script that was born out of the old Kdenlive Build Wizard and published as a standalone Bash script elsewhere here on the forum. I am not maintaining the script and making the latest version available for download from the MLT wiki:

http://www.mltframework.org/twiki/bin/view/MLT/BuildScripts#Kdenlive

I keep getting this error when trying to rerun the Builder script.

LOG: About to run command: git reset --hard
HEAD is now at c76374c Use AVERROR_EXIT with url_interrupt_cb.
LOG: About to run command: git --no-pager pull git://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git master
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
ERROR: Unable to git pull sources for ffmpeg
LOG: Process has finished. Reason: FAILURE Some kind of error occured: Unable to git pull sources for ffmpeg

The first time I ran the script, everything worked and I was able to compile successfully. Subsequent runs failed with the same error message. I've tried this on 2 different computers without success. Is this a problem with ffmpeg, my computers, or the script?

Your script is outdated due to the ffmpeg git repo location changing. Please download a new version. Also, 'rm -rf src/ffmpeg' from the location where you are placing and running the script.

Thanks for the tip. I downloaded the new script, removed the src/ffmpeg directory, then ran it. However, I now get the following error on both computers:

What does expected `]' mean?

Thanks,
waynevid

same problem here. there seems to be an issue with the master branch of libvpx and --enable-shared as a configure option. at least it compiles without that option.
issue to follow: http://code.google.com/p/webm/issues/detail?id=309

Yes, you are correct. It compiles after removing the --enable-shared option.

waynevid

i changed the configuration variable in the build script to

LIBVPX_HEAD=bali

now the script works again. i'll keep that until the bug in libvpx master isn't resolved.

Did you change all of the other LIBVPX_HEAD variables and did you put the --enable-shared option back in after doing that?

waynevid

After using the build script successfully a few times (last time was 20110427), i ran into a problem today....

After successfull compilation of ffmpeg, frei0r and mlt, it aborts soon after starting to compile Kdenlive, like this:

Any ideas what could have gone wrong here?

Should be fixed now in svn, please try again.

Thanks, compiles OK now.

The build script site is having troubles:
http://www.mltframework.org/twiki/bin/view/MLT/BuildScripts

...gives a 503.

I'm trying to use kdenlive (0.8) on AV Linux 5.0. Version 0.8 has errors, and AV Linux is based on Debian stable, and needs *not* to have changed repositories. The build script looks to be the perfect solution. But I cannot get it!

Any other sources for the script?

I found the original script:
http://www.kdenlive.org/forum/kdenlive-0771-and-078-simultaneously

It needs the ffmpeg git repository changing:

# REPOLOCS[0]="git://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git"
# 2011-06-21 ffmpeg git repo changed
REPOLOCS[0]="git://git.videolan.org/ffmpeg.git"

I was feeling very pleased with myself (and congrats for an excellent piece of work in the script) until it hit the git repo for mlt:

KBWLOG: About to run command: git --no-pager clone git://mltframework.org/mlt.git
Cloning into mlt...

Well, not at the moment it will not. Continuous 503 errors on MLT, for hours & hours. Bugger!

Any mirror git repos for MLT that I can trust?

mltframework.org is back. Thank you Thank you Thank you!

I had been attempting to use git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-kde/krap/mlt.git (which contains neither source code nor, not too surprisingly, a configure script) when I checked for the umpteenth time & it was back. Have now downloaded version 11 build-kdenlive.sh, and will soon find out just how good your bash skills are (!) (looks good so far).

Many thanks, and glad (for you, as well as me) that you got it back.

Error compiling swfdec:

Requested 'cairo >= 1.9.4' but version of cairo is 1.8.10
Requested 'cairo-png >= 1.9.4' but version of cairo-png is 1.8.10

My distribution is from the AV Linux 5.0 DVD, which is based on Debian Squeeze (stable). The updated packages are within Sid (unstable). Naturally, if I attempt to do that, numerous other packages will be removed / updated. I suspect that I am going to land in dependency hell (been there, done that, no more thanks).

(as I am about to type this, I know it to be a lame question)

swfdec + lame are not within the earlier build-kdenlive.sh, and are also not mentioned on the install-from-source page:
http://www.kdenlive.org/user-manual/downloading-and-installing-kdenlive/installing-source

Is either actually *required* to build kdenlive? If so, is there a method to also build cairo in the same manner, so that kdenlive & associated routines will refer to it & not to the locally-installed libraries? I'm not experienced enough with compiling to be able to answer that question, though I'm very happy to hack the build script, using the existing code as a template.

Ah well.
