Request to Have kdenlive in the kde-redhat repository

[Eli Wapniarski]

Hi Rex.

I've just spent about week figuring out how to get kdenlive (a feature rich
nonlinear video editor) compiled for Fedora 9 x86_64. Currently its in Beta
and frankly, personally, I don't know how much use I would make of it. But it
seems like its one of those apps that should be included in the KDE / Fedora
bag of tricks. It probably can't be included in the formal Fedora distribution
and it probably should eventually wind up in Livna or some such but....

So, for anyone that might be interested, I've included a basic outline of how
I got things done for the x86_64 platform.

Rex... I'm requesting that the application be included in the kde-redhat repo,
at least for the time being.

Several packages are required and it would seem that some extras might be
useful.

From http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Kdenlive/Getting_and_installing

Rquired Packages (The ones they tell you about available in the repos)
* Gdk-Pixbuf (gdk-pixbuf, gdk-pixbuf-dev) (not needed anymore)
* libsamplerate (libsamplerate, libsamplerate-dev)
* OGG (libogg, libogg-dev)
* Vorbis (libvorbis, libvorbis-dev)
* libdv (libdv, libdv-dev)
* Ladspa (ladspa-sdk)
* libJack (libjack-dev)
* Ladspa plugins (swh-plugins)
* SOX (sox, sox-dev - This one does not seem to work and their have been
complaints about sox. According to what I've found out, its not really
required.)
* libXML2 (libxml2, libxml2-dev)
* libmad (libmad-dev)
* FFMPEG (libavformat development files, recent version + libswscale,
libswscale-dev): This can be found in the ffmpeg-compat-devel packagage at
Livna

Rquired Packages (The ones they don't tell you about available in the repos)
* soprano-devel

Optional Packages (Available in the repos)
* Libquicktime (libquicktime, libquicktime-dev)
* Theora (libtheora, libtheora-dev)

Optional Packages (Not available in the repos)

gavl (Current Version: 1.0.1)
http://gmerlin.sourceforge.net/gavl.html

./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64
make
make install

frei0r-plugins (Current Version: 1.1.21)
http://www.piksel.org/frei0r

After asking I had to modify 2 files to get frei0r-plugins to compile.

1) frei0r-plugins-1.1.21/src/filter/equaliz0r/equaliz0r.cpp
I had to add: #include <cstring>

2) frei0r-plugins-1.1.21/src/filter/sobel/sobel.cpp
I had to add: #include "stdlib.h"

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib6
make
make install

Required Packages (Not available in the repos)

mlt (Current Version: 0.3.0)
http://www.mltframework.org/twiki/bin/view/MLT/

./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --enable-gpl --disable-mmx --
disable-qimage --avformat-swscale
make
make install

I haven't found out yet how to get qimage from qt4 to get compiled into mlt. I
have asked and I am waiting for a response.

mlt++ (Current Version: 0.3.0)
http://www.mltframework.org/twiki/bin/view/MLT/

./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64
make
make install

kdenlive (Current Version: 0.7beta1)
http://www.kdenlive.org/

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
make
make install


Thanks for your consideration Rex.

OK... I have a revision involving mlt which will allow support for qimage from
qt4 to get compiled in.

mlt (Current Version: 0.3.0)

Yep, Livna or rpmfusion is really where this should go. It would be a
welcome addition.

So what would be you're proposal for dealing with this? As indicated the
software is still beta. I will try to work with it over the next couple of
weeks to see if I can do something with it. But I think kde-redhat would make
an ideal initial testing ground.

IMO,
step 1: get it packaged
step 2: build/host @ kde-redhat, submit pkg review to rpmfusion
step 3: pkg passes review -> rpmfusion

I was hoping that at least step 1 would be done by some capable member
of our vibrant community. :)

Else, I could get to it... eventually. plate's pretty full already tho.

I have no experience at all at building packages. Maybe somebody else can
tackle this. My plate is also quite full. And, I do not have the environment
to test i386 packages. So I guess I will wait for the packaging with patience.

I can do it. From your first message I see that "mlt" is not in any of the repos. That one needs to be packaged first. I will figure out what repo is most suitable for it and will let you know about my progress.

That would be great. Now... while I see that gavl and fei0r are not strictly
needed by mlt. When mlt is configured it looks for frei0r which is dependant
on gavl. If we are already getting this done, it would be good (I think) to
get these optional libraried packaged as well. It would provide a basis for
greater choices and possibly enhance mlt and consquently kdenlive in ways that
don't seem apparent right now.

Hi Eli,
A quick search showed me that mlt is in review in redhat's bugzilla. I hope it will be approved soon. But I'm afraid we have to wait until then to consider packaging kdenlive.

I just noticed this discussion and want to mention that I tried to
package kdenlive for a user of the german fedora forum some weeks ago.
Basically I failed because of troubles with mlt/mlt++, but kdenlive
seems to build fine. I am not actually interested in this application
and won't volunteer to maintain it. However, maybe my spec file might be
usefull for you?

I also would offer to give a helping hand. Fore sure there are users
that are looking forward for packages ;)

Best regards,
Florian
