Trying to compile Kdenlive, fails with:

/home/mc/brisi/kdenlive/src/mainwindow.cpp:65:27: error: KActionCategory: No such file or directory

I guess it's because I don't have kdelibs5.

But I just can't find these anywhere - even Google turns up nothing downloadable...

So, where could I get them?

What linux distribution do you use? kdelibs5-dev is present in the Synaptic Package Manager for Ubuntu.

Open Suse 11.1

Seems like it is called "libkde4-devel" on Open Suse...

Sorry I am not familiar with Open Suse. All I can say is that you need to have the KDE 4 development files installed because that is where the KDE header files typically come from.

Have that already installed (devel too), seems no to be the thing.
Downloading suse 11.3 right now, will try to upgrade in the next days and see...

Tried to find "kdelibs5", but no such thing on sourceforge or anywhere...
According to Wiki, this is actually a collection of libraries, but which of them is the one required here?
The Kdenlive compilation instructions just say "kdelibs5" is needed.

Your compiler is failing when it tries to load the KActionCategory header file. On my ubuntu system that file is at /usr/include/KDE. That file in turn includes file kactioncategory.h which is at /usr/include.

Do you have any KDE include files installed at all in your system? Perhaps they are located in a different place than the kdenlive make file expects.


EDIT: Or perhaps you have too old a version of the KDE include files installed.

WOW!

Finally I managed to compile kdenlive using the new script!

THANKS FOR THAT!

Btw, meanwhile I upgraded to suse 11.3.

Of the dependencies listed in the script description, I did not intall libswfdec (I don't care much about Flash).

Also, kdelibs5 and imageblitz seem to be already part of the new KDE, so I didn't explicitly install these two either.

Nevertheless, after cca 15 min, I saw:

LOG: Process has finished. Reason: SUCCESS Everything succeeded

And it runs, too!
