I tried to compile the cinelerra4 source, since ist seems to offer the feature that text in the title effect can be adorned with an outline. The compilation stopped with an error:
faad2.cpp:311: error: 'struct format_list_t' has no member named 'rtpmap' It took some time to find out that in mpeg4ip version 1.6 this member indeed wasn't there. The programmer seems to be on holidays and will give attention to his ruined tarball when he is back. Fortunately the correct declaration of member rtpmap was still present in version mpeg4ip-1.5.0.1 So I downloaded the tarball. Contrary to most tarballs it asks to be started by issuing the command ./bootstrap. Which lead to the error: ./bootstrap: 76: Syntax error: Bad fd number After some google work, I found out that issuing the command 'bash bootstrap' works. OK. This seems to do the configuration. But the command 'make' leads to an error that tells me that there is no reference to 'XmoveWindows'. The problem, according to some e-mail correspondence, seems to be that mpeg4ip relies on sdl to 'pull in' libX11. But since version libsdl-1.2.8 did not have this problem, I downloaded libsdl-1.2.8 tarball. But that compiled not so well because of an error, complaining about the syntax in a cpp-program. It said that I had to add a ';' before an '}' token. No problem to do so since I have done some C-programming my self. It was only that I asked my self how such an blatant error ever made it to a tarball unnoticed. I tried to compile again and now the error was a simple: 'ConvertMMX' aliased to undefined symbol '_ConvertMMX' I googled a bit more and found that perhaps gcc-4.x just doesn't go well together with sdl-1.2.8 and perhaps version sdl-1.2.13 should be tried instead. Then I stopped an started to ask myself questions. Question 1: who are these children that are set loose on the internet to take the guise of a programmer and just program around in their private Kindergarten, without any communication to the outside world? Question 2: does anyone ever ask himself why cinelerra crashes so very often? Question 3: how has cinelerra ever managed to become a professional NLE? _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
