I don't think this is valid anymore. We use the Python setup.py distutils, and do not package ffmpeg or mlt without code. This was a complaint of the old build wizard, I think.

Status in OpenShot Video Editor: New Bug description: I'm really impressed by the OpenShot screenshots and screencasts, but current methods of installation are a real showstopper for me. When installing third-party programs, specially development versions, I want some flexibility that neither the build wizard and the debs give me. I would like to be able to at least specify the directories for both installation and libraries. Specifying a directory for libraries is particularly important to test with bleeding-edge versions of ffmpeg and mlt avoiding any conflicts with programs compiled for old versions (such as kdenlive). The best course of action would be to use autotools. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openshot.developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openshot.developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
