Cinelerra

Phorem · Posted: Fri Apr 16, 2004 11:25 pm Post subject: Cinelerra

I have tried, but with no avail compiling cinelerra. As i am unaware of an AMD64 build, compiling seems to be the only viable option at the moment. For starters, there isn't a ./configure file so i have to use Make. The build seems to go fine with the usual amd64 warnings (which in most cases, all of the software i used on 32bit works fine for 64 - excluding most of the commercial games) but when it's done, i only get soundtest but no ./cinelerra.

I have tried messing around with the make file script, but nothing has worked so far. I might try updating the software packages it builds while compiling cinelerra in the main folder, but i was wondering if it was even worth it? Any ideas?

(I posted this at Linuxquestions.org as well)

You might have to bother the cinellera team directly. They mention on their website that the program is difficult to compile correctly, so who knows...

I'm not sure,but I think your best bet might to be to get a binary build of cinelerra for standard 32 bit x86 and run it using emulation. There is hand written assembly code for cinelerra, so I think that would cause problem because the assembly would be 32 bit and the compiled code would be 64 bit. . Let me know if you have any luck with it.

I'm not quite sure that's a problem, it takes some testing of course. I was able to run cinellera on my Opteron box off the recent Dynebolic CD. But I can't say if it really works, nor can I test it further as Dynebolic refuses to see my SATA harddisk.

I did finally get cinelerra to install, but i had to use a slackware 9.1 package and just drop it in their respective directories. It does work, but it's also only 32bit. It's the only application that i use that i haven't been able to compile or emerge(obviously). But i have got Jack, Ardour, Blender, dvdauthor, Kino and a couple more to work perfectly in 64bit. I haven't emailed the cinelerra authors, but they are probably too busy to respond.

Piotr Kopszak, where did you get that 64bit build of cinelerra? Dynebolic?

Also, is there any other skins floating around (or themes). That is one nasty GUI. If i could get it to compile, i would create my own.

No, Dynebolic is 32-bit all the way, as the cinelerra which is there. I meant I was able to run 32-bit cinelerra on Opteron but couldn't make any use of it due to Dynebolic deficiences. As far as I know there is no possibility of changing the skin of cinelerra. The author has done pretty low-level job and wrote all the window toolkit himself, that's one of the reasons why it's so fast.

It has to be possible to compile Cinelerra for AMD64. See:

http://www.lmahd.com/cinelerra.html

*UPDATE*
- fixed link

Hi there. I am also looking for new themes for Cinelerra. I came across that Blue Dot theme yesterday but couldn't find any download site.

Well, just tried the ebuild, and saw lots of x86_64 things flying by, but installation fails:

Has anyone tried the cinelerra-1.2.0 release?
I am also going to try the cvs.cinelerra.org CVS.

I wrote the Cinelerra authors about AMD64 support and i got this reply about 2 weeks ago......

" The May 11 release should have improved support for x86_64. The compilation has been tested on Fedora 1 for x86_64. You have to run configure in quicktime/ffmpeg*. Other problems in the previous release make it impossible to run on x86_64. "

I have done what it says, but i still don't get any cinelerra binary :-(

I go into the quicktime/ffmpeg* folder and run configure. Then i go back the to cinelerra folder and run configure. Still doesn't work. I must be doing something wrong. I hope somebody can use this info and post their experience back here if it works. I would have posted this sooner but i have been busy - sorry about that.

Ok, I have version 1.2.0 of Cinelerra compiling, but not installing due to a bug in either the configure script, the ebuild, or someone overlooking something dumb.

The Cinelerra makefiles use OBJDIR, which is defined as (uname --machine) to create directories. In a few other places it is hard defined as i686. When the ebuild is run for 1.2.0, it gets all the way through the compile and produces an executable, but fails on the install because it can't find the executable. Well, it's there, but under the cinelerra/x86_64 directory, not the cinelerra/i686 directory. There is a symbolic link in the cinelerra directory called ci which supposedly points to the actual executable. Unfortunately it points to i686/cinelerra, not x86_64/cinelerra.

Hope this helps... I'll work on it tonight, try and track this stuff down.

Dan

Cool! I'll try doing some work on it tonight as well. Now, so i am sure on something here, you are compiling cinelerra from Portage or downloaded the source and doing the ./compile;make;make install shuffle? When i try building from source, it gets all the way through but i couldn't find the binary. Oh well, i'll try again and look harder this time - or just try portage i guess. :twisted:

I added ~amd64 to the cinelerra 1.2.0 ebuild ;-)

Thne I just went with it.

I'm running a totally ~amd64 machine... So your mielage may vary on versions of the packages....

Ok, I got it to install with the e-build. I had to add a few lines in.

Phorem · Posted: Sat May 22, 2004 6:46 pm Post subject:

I give up. I have tried everything - including the code that you have provided gweigert. It always comes back with this error :

>>> Install cinelerra-1.2.0 into /var/tmp/portage/cinelerra-1.2.0/image/ category media-video
>>> dobin: making cinelerra executable...
install: cannot stat `cinelerra': No such file or directory

!!! ERROR: media-video/cinelerra-1.2.0 failed.
!!! Function src_install, Line 58, Exitcode 1
!!! cinelerra not built

Oh well.

That is really odd....

Once I changed the ebuild, it just worked..... found everything and installed it too..

Can you post your copy of the ebuild here?

I'll see if I can find what's going on.

Your ebuild looks something like mine.... but without the indentatiion. That shouldn't matter. Can you paste the last bit of your emerge? Also check for the cinelerra executable under /var/tmp/portage/cinelerra-1.2.0/work/cinelerra/x86_64. If it got that far, then the problem is in the ebuild or the configure scripts...

I'll give it a wirl when I get home, and report on my progress. Thanks for the info, seems like of all things that'd benifit as a 64 bit compilation.. a video editor would be one big one.

I'd love to see if this just works for other people... If it's something weird in my environment, I'll have to search it out.
