The way to build Kdenlive for Windows is doing it by craft (script).
Follow point 1 and 2 from here "using craft": https://community.kde.org/Kdenlive/Development/WindowsBuild#Compiling_on_Windows_using_Craft_.28Recommended_method.29 <https://community.kde.org/Kdenlive/Development/WindowsBuild#Compiling_on_Windows_using_Craft_.28Recommended_method.29> Setup craft, follow the step here: https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Windows <https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Windows> "Installing Craft" Important: choose MinGW as compiler and not MSVC!

Hi, I hope this is the right place to ask about this. I wanted to try compiling the Kdenlive project, so I followed the instructions here: https://community.kde.org/Kdenlive/Development/WindowsBuild#Compiling_on_Windows_using_Craft_.28Recommended_method.29 <https://community.kde.org/Kdenlive/Development/WindowsBuild#Compiling_on_Windows_using_Craft_.28Recommended_method.29> It seemed to go well for the most part, but then I got this compilation error: C:/CraftRoot/mingw64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/8.1.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/as.exe: src/CMakeFiles/kdenliveLib.dir/timeline2/model/timelinemodel.cpp.obj: too many sections (41199) C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp\cc2ohnjx.s: Assembler messages: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp\cc2ohnjx.s: Fatal error: can't write 181 bytes to section .text of src/CMakeFiles/kdenliveLib.dir/timeline2/model/timelinemodel.cpp.obj: 'File too big' C:/CraftRoot/mingw64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/8.1.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/as.exe: src/CMakeFiles/kdenliveLib.dir/timeline2/model/timelinemodel.cpp.obj: too many sections (41199) C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp\cc2ohnjx.s: Fatal error: can't close src/CMakeFiles/kdenliveLib.dir/timeline2/model/timelinemodel.cpp.obj: File too big I googled the error and I found a discussion thread that suggested adding the "Wa,-mbig-obj" option in the CXX_FLAGS: https://github.com/include-what-you-use/include-what-you-use/issues/256 <https://github.com/include-what-you-use/include-what-you-use/issues/256> So, I wanted to try doing this, but I'm unfamiliar with the build system (Cmake? Ninja? Makefiles?) so I'm not actually sure where I should insert it so that it actually gets used in the build system 😅 Could anyone help me out with this? Thanks, Ahiijny
