Description:
 This Kommander script is meant to help you get
the development (SVN) version of kdenlive (A
non-linear video editor for KDE, homepage at
[url]http://www.kdenlive.org/[/url]), and build
it. 

A lot is happening with Kdenlive, but stable
releases can be far in between - therefore the
motivation for building from the development
sources.

Building kdenlive from the development versions
can be a bit of a hassle, as it also depends on
development versions of ffmpeg, mlt and mlt++.
This wizard removes a lot of the hassle.

Simply answer a few questions, click a few
buttons, press \"Go\", and it will retrieve or
update your sources, configure, compile, and
install them.

If everything goes well, you will soon have a
working version of the kdenlive development
version. If it fails, you will get access to a
full log of the commands run, and can try to fix
the problem (missing libs, most likely, but
sometimes the developers also check stuff into svn
that just don\'t compile), before restarting the
wizard.

This has only been tested on Kubuntu 7.10, using
Kommander 1.2.2. Please send bugreports to my
email (included in the about box, make [b]sure[/b]
to include the log from the wizard). Feel free to
send a success report too :-)
