Valentina's are both (just have a look at the apt-source lines on the "Get Cinelerra" page). Having both source and binaries available from the same apt-source is good practice, anyway. Say, you almost managed to install the binary packages, but they had one or two binary incompatibilities with your system. You could try to fix that, or you could build Cinelerra yourself, so that it was linked against _your_ libraries. With src apt-sources, doing so is a matter of 2-3 commands. The final result are .deb packages that will install (and hopefully run) nicely on your system. Gentoo and *BSD users compile everything without complaining? Why? Because most of the time compilation is dead simple on those platforms. It Just Works. It is actually supposed to be that way on Debian, too. There is a reason Gentoo-ers have claimed Cinelerra is broken beyond repair: In their book, an application that does not Just Compile is broken! Feel free to file bug reports on failures in Cinelerra build system. -- Herman Robak _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
