Hi there,

is anyone here able to build a version from git successfully? I'm using the build using the scripts from https://github.com/mltframework/mlt-scripts/ but am (for a while now) unable to get it to compile on my Ubuntu MATE Artful 17.10 x86_64.

E.g., just tried with mlt-scripts 91e22537 and get a compile error about 5 minutes in:

Code: Select all

LOG: About to run command: cd libepoxy
LOG: PATH=/home/joe/kdenlive/20180312/bin:/usr/joebin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/home/joe/bin

mkdir: cannot create directory ‘m4’: File exists
ERROR: Unable to configure libepoxy
LOG: Process has finished. Reason: FAILURE Some kind of error occured: Unable to configure libepoxy


Which seems to be this, trivially fixable, bug:

https://github.com/voidplayer/libepoxy/ ... d6c910b571

That's been known for half a year now:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384539

However, I'm unable to manually patch because the auto-build scripts will re-clone and git reset --hard. Also it's pretty frustrating that the build starts every time from the very beginning even if it fails midway through (and much already suceeded).

The version included in Ubuntu Artful is horribly bug-riddled to the point of being unusable (crashes *litterally* every 5-10 minutes, effect settings get "forgotten" when moving video around, aspect ratio is messed up when using proxy clips, etcetcetc).

Can someone please help me to get a version from git to compile on my box? I'd love to cut some video with kdenlive, but getting there is a rocky road

Thanks in advance and cheers,
Joe
