Hi,

I have been trying to use the build script described here to install Kdenlive for testing purposes:

https://community.kde.org/Kdenlive/Deve ... ild_script

I am using Kubuntu 15.10

I have followed the notes and Installed the missing dependancies listed in the script. The script runs for a while but ends with the errors listed below.

Are there extra packages to download? if so what are they? I am a bit stuck. Can anyone help?



Thanks.

ERROR: Unable to configure kdenlive
LOG: Process has finished. Reason: FAILURE Some kind of error occured: Unable to configure kdenlive

I'm on Kubuntu 15.10, but I'm compiling from sources without script as described on https://community.kde.org/Kdenlive/Development/KF5. Please also check the associated discussion page: https://community.kde.org/Talk:Kdenlive/Development/KF5. Would this be an acceptable method for you?

Thanks for that, I will try that method when I get time, it would be good practice for me. It looks a bit more involved than just using a script that works. Ideally fixing the errors that I am getting would be a better solution for me as I want to try out the latest builds of Kdenlive regularly so that I can test alongside the latest release version.

I went through the instructions and compiled it all manually and got it working. By doing that I realised I had to install some missing packages. I then tried using the script again and it worked.

Good to hear! Do you remember which packages were missing? I would like to update the wiki page.

I suspect one of the missing packages was libkf5bookmarks5. I have that and libkf5bookmarks-dev and libkf5bookmarks-data.

I don't think I explicitly installed these - might have come along with another package.

After doing a manual build using the instructions it worked. I realised I hadn't installed the dependencies that were listed on the page. However if I run the build script and then chose the option of run with GDB output capture it crashes and doesn't start Kdenlive. If normal option is chosen it works Ok.

I am trying to do the same thing but I am stuck here:

"Configure the build

The script optionally uses a configuration file, which by default, is build-kdenlive.conf within the current directory. If the configuration file exists, it contains the same configuration variables that are at the top of the script but perhaps with different values that override the defaults in the script. Also, you can supply a configuration file name using the -c option when running the script. However, you can also simply edit the variables at the top of the script as needed. More information about specific options is pending. "

What am I supposed to do? Where is build-kdenlive.conf supposed to come from?? The directions say that "If the config file exists, it contains the same ....". What if it doesn't exist?? And how would it exist anyway? Following the directions here "http://www.mltframework.org/twiki/bin/view/MLT/BuildScripts" the only thing I've done is to install this bunch of packages. Where would the conf file come from?

Thank you for your time everyone

If you are using the build script that I put up here https://community.kde.org/Kdenlive/Deve ... ild_script then you do not need any configuration file. Those comments in the script are pretty much historical. And I am sorry if they are confusing.

The instructions on how to use that build script are here https://community.kde.org/Kdenlive/Deve ... ild_script

Important steps are install the pre-requisite packages that are mentioned in the comments in the script.
and edit the file to specifiy the INSTALL_DIR.

This is what I get

LOG: About to run command: kf5-config -v
./build-kdenlive.sh: line 297: kf5-config: command not found
ERROR: Unable to run kf5-config
LOG: Process has finished. Reason: FAILURE Some kind of error occured: Unable to run kf5-config

Am I supposed to have kf5-config from somewhere?

Thanks again

What operating system and version are you running the build script on?
kf5-config should be part of the kf5 - kde-frameworks v 5 that is a perquisite for all this.

And to get that you need to pick a fairly recent distro that provides it.
