cinelerra 1.2.0

smite · Posted: Wed Jul 07, 2004 5:14 pm Post subject: cinelerra 1.2.0

ok, i looked on bugs.gentoo.org to no avail. here's what happens when i try to emerge cinelerra. should i submit a bug report?

>>> Install cinelerra-1.2.0 into /var/tmp/portage/cinelerra-1.2.0/image/ category media-video
x86
/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 60: cd: /var/tmp/portage/cinelerra-1.2.0/work/cinelerra-1.2.0/cinelerra/i486: No such file or directory
install: `cinelerra' is a directory

!!! ERROR: media-video/cinelerra-1.2.0 failed.
!!! Function src_install, Line 61, Exitcode 1
!!! cinelerra not built

could it be a typo in the ebuild?

Same here. It also has an error at quicktime.h IIRC. I may be hallucinating, but I seem to recall it has something to do with athlon processors. Do you have one?

EDIT: look at comment #5 and #6 at Bug #33048.
I'm going to try that myself now.

Most odd. I just tried it, and it compiled fine for the first time. grab.c already looks like this?

grab.c is

If it is the same problem, you have to add the //'s to the two includes. Don't ask me why it works, I have no idea, but it did on my computer.

Good luck.

crap.... made no difference... i read somewhere about CHOST settings that cause a problem like this. i have an athlon xp 2600+, you?

Got a athlon 1800+ palomino core. My chost is i686-pc-linux-gnu. And I wasn't having the bug you mentioned, I just thought they might be similar.

I don't really no what else to say, sorry.

for those with cinelerra problems and are willing to try something a little more risky....

I've had good success with the unofficial cinelerra. It has a bunch of patches to fix problems and add functionality, and the build system is a little less flakey IMHO. But the source is from an active CVS repository, so if you sync to their server you always run the risk of source that won't build if they are in the middle of making big changes. I've never had problems though.

http://cvs.cinelerra.org/

As a bonus, they have the Blue Dot theme as opposed to that hideous Blond theme.

Just wondering what do you mean by risky? How would it conflict with portage?

Cheers

Anyone care to share some more information on how to install cinelerra. I have done most if not all that has been mentioned in the bug reports and nothing. It seems like the devs have given up on the issue.

Is there anyone with a similar problem like this that has managed to fix it with an alternate method to the one mentioned in the bug reports.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

### FINALLY FIXED ###

So after all that I have tried, looking through all the bug reports:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41425
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44710
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56717
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60255
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62011
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62367
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64497
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64540

nobody cared to stress the importance of the CHOST settings. For this reason I have done everything but pay attention to CHOST.

If you have a similar problem as to the original post and have a "modern" machine you should set the CHOST to:

More risky == may or may not work, could do unexpected things etc.

It's a general disclaimer since it's not based off an ebuild. I've actually found it more stable and easier to build than the standard version though.
