hi,

I'm currently using 15.12.3 version of kdenlive and I would like to test 16.* but I don't want to stop my current projects.

Is there a proper way to test several versions at the same time?

I've seen there's an appimage on the way, and I'm already familiar with compiling from source, so any solution is fine for me as long as I'm able to run different versions.

thanks in advance

procedure in https://community.kde.org/Kdenlive/Development/KF5
installs everything in "INSTALL_PREFIX=/your/path/of/choice".
there is also the build script from MLT repo that does similar things:
https://github.com/mltframework/mlt-scr ... denlive.sh

thx for the info.

I've been able to compile with provided script.

for future testers, these are dependencies I've found in my ubuntu 16.04 xenial (could be others that I've already had on my system):

Code: Select all

apt-get install git cmake yasm nasm autoconf xutils-dev libtool automake libgegl-dev libegl1-mesa-dev libfftw3-dev libsdl1.2-dev libtheora-dev libvorbis-dev libgtk2.0-dev libexif-dev lv2-dev libexiv2-dev libexif-gtk-dev libresample1-dev libsox-dev libjack-dev libjack-jackd2-dev libsamplerate0-dev extra-cmake-modules qt5-qmake qt5-default  libqt5svg5-dev qtscript5-dev  qtdeclarative5-dev libkf5archive-dev libkf5bookmarks-dev  libkf5config-dev libkf5declarative-dev libkf5widgetsaddons-dev  libkf5configwidgets-dev libkf5notifyconfig-dev  libkf5newstuff-dev  kdoctools-dev libkf5crash-dev  libkf5filemetadata-dev


once installed all these I changed INSTALL_DIR variable at begining of script and all went fine.
