Description alberto 2017-09-04 11:12:02 UTC

https://community.kde.org/File:Build-kdenlive_v26b.sh.zip fails to build

Im using debian/sid, Ive been fixing a few issues, but the next person will have to do the same

Having an easy way to build the development environment without tainting your current installation is very important if you want people to contribute. I can tell by the git comments that is only 2 people doing all the work :/

Comment 1 carion.nicolas 2017-09-07 10:18:40 UTC

May I ask why you're not building directly from the git version ?

Comment 2 alberto 2017-09-07 10:37:32 UTC

Im using the build script found on the wiki

https://community.kde.org/Kdenlive/Development/KF5#A_build_scripts

what do you mean by not building directly from the git version? The script downloads the git version It builds important dependences as well

But its a text file uploaded on a wiki, not really under git

Comment 3 Vincent PINON 2017-09-08 10:05:25 UTC

The build script actually lives here:
https://github.com/mltframework/mlt-scripts/blob/master/build/build-kdenlive.sh
True that we should update the doc! (and probably the script too).

I agree it would be simpler to have all our build scripts in our own git repo, I would like to add the Windows (mxe) files, get the AppImage script from JB/Scarlett, Snaps when they will be ready... maybe even deb/rpm recipes?

Comment 4 alberto 2017-09-08 11:29:07 UTC

Mmm... I was using an old version of the building script (found on the wiki 26b)

Latest version is 28. This fixed #384380 for me :)

Thanks!

It would be cool if the script used a chroot instead of needing to pull dependences in the host system as well :)

I could add an option in the script to install the list of dependences for debian/testing if think is worth it

This is not relevant anymore. You can find up-to-date build instructions at https://community.kde.org/Kdenlive/Development. Thanks for your report!
