[Kdenlive-devel] My mlt compilation problem solved

[Harry van der Wolf]

Hi all,

A couple of weeks ago I had a problem compiling mlt 0.22 (and so had 
others) and I had to use the mediafire.com .debs for (K)Ubuntu. When 
compiling mlt yourself, the problem already starts with the  
"./configure --enable-gpl --enable-shared --enable-theora 
--enable-vorbis --enable-libogg --enable-pp --enable-shared-pp 
--enable-motion-est" . This configure step already gives error messages 
as some build_config and build_pkgconfig functions are not executed. 
This causes the make step to end in error(s) and mlt is not 
compiled/linked/built.

I then saw that the top line in ./configure consisted of "#!/bin/sh". I 
changed this to "#!/bin/bash" as that's the default for most modern 
linuxes and it has more capabilities. This was the great trick. The 
configure scripts runs without errors and the "make" and "sudo make 
install"  commands function properly too.
The same can be accomplished by "bash ./configure --enable-gpl 
--enable-shared --enable-theora --enable-vorbis --enable-libogg 
--enable-pp --enable-shared-pp --enable-motion-est".

JB: Can you please add this to the instructions on the 
"http://kdenlive.sourceforge.net/downloads.php"  page  for the mlt 
configure/compilation instructions as I think it will solve a lot of mlt 
compilation problems for other new users too, attracting  more people to 
start using kdenlive.

Kind regards,

Harry
