I would like to learn the proper way to install the SVN version. Some of the questions I have: 1) I've seen references to including certain options when issuing the ./configure command - is my memory correct on this, and if so, which options? 2) Is there a 'proper' place to put the /hvirtual directory for 'best practices' file management? 3) I did succeed in doing this last year, but I recall having many problems resolving all the various dependencies - is there a 'logical' approach to doing this - and, in in line with this question, I seem to recall that there were subfolders included with the SVN download that had many of the dependencies' source code - do I have that right? Are all the dependencies included, and if so, do I just compile each of those as part of the process? 4) I'm currently running the Cinelerra package for Fedora that's in the FreshRPM's repository. It works well, but it's now several months old, and doesn't have many of the seemingly useful patches that I've seen reported to have been committed over the more recent period, and it's 2.0 rather than 2.1 - If I were to install from SVN, should I remove the installed version I'm currently running?
I would like to learn enough so that eventually, maybe I can start building rpm packages from the current code on a more regular basis, or help the current maintainer of those packages - would such help be useful? Also, I have a website/ftp site that allows 100 GB of traffic per month, and I would be glad to make some of this available to this project if that would be useful. And finally, I am not a coder, but I can write fairly decent tutorials and documentation, and would like very much to document my learning curve for others. My background is in Television. I run a Television studio in the area of Washington, DC, and have been in the business for over 15 years. I currently edit with an aging DPS/Leitch/Harris Velocity system, and put out several hours of programming each month. I'm quite satisfied with the Velocity, but, it's a Windows program, and it's age is beginning to tell - it can't handle many of the new formats now being introduced, it can't handle HD, and it has other limitations. I would like very much to be some small part of helping this open source alternative progress. If any of you developers think that I can be of some use in this effort, please feel free to contact me off-list to pursue this. -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
