====== Compiling Avidemux 2.6.x ======

Avidemux 2.6 is made of 3 components:

  * The core modules: A set of dynamic libraries hosting core components.
  * The application modules: Qt4 or Qt5, and CLI (command line).
  * The plug-in modules: Everything is a module in 2.6, so without plugins you can't do anything. The plugins either belong to the common part (they work with all UIs) or a specific part (they only work with one).
  * The settings modules : They contain templates/settings for some encoder (x264 mostly).
 
===== The simple way =====

Please look at the bootStrap.bash script that compiles, installs and builds automatically packages for Avidemux 2.6.

==== Packaging options ====

If you use <nowiki>--</nowiki>rpm, <nowiki>--</nowiki>deb or <nowiki>--</nowiki>tgz, bootStrap will automatically create the packages.
Please note that they are incomplete (i.e. they do not contain  proper dependencies and such).
For RPM packaging, also note that the vanilla RPM as found in Fedora(nbsp)12 will not work (see cmake about that).

==== Target ====

By using <nowiki>--</nowiki>with-xxx or <nowiki>--</nowiki>without-xxx, you can specifically ask bootStrap.bash to build or not parts of Avidemux.
There is an extra option to build with Qt5 //--enable-qt5//

The xxx list is as follows:

  * **qt4:** Build the Qt4 UI (or Qt5 if --enable-qt5 is set)
  * **cli:** Build CLI
  * **core:** Build core
  * **plugins:** Build plugins

**Example**
Build .deb for debian/ubuntu, core + Qt4 + plugins
  bash bootStrap.bash --deb

Build .deb for debian/ubuntu, core + Qt5 + plugins
  bash bootStrap.bash --deb --enable-qt5

Build .deb for debian/ubuntu, core + Qt5 + plugins + cli
  bash bootStrap.bash --deb --enable-qt5 --with-cli

  
If you dont use --deb or --rpm, the result will be in the *install* folder. You  can copy its content to /usr later. 

Do not install it elsewhere, it will not work. If you want to install it to /usr/local or /opt or ..., please edit the bootStrap.sh script.
Note that the bootstrap script does not install anything by itself and does not require root privilege.  

=====  Requirement list (debian/ubuntu)  =====

For core modules
  sudo apt-get install gcc g++ make cmake pkg-config libpng12-dev fakeroot yasm libsqlite3-dev  build-essential 

For Qt **4**
  sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev
  
For Qt **5**
  sudo apt-get install qttools5-dev-tools qtbase5-dev
  
  
For common plugins
  sudo apt-get install libaften-dev libmp3lame-dev libx264-dev  libfaad-dev libfaac-dev
  
 **Warning** 
If you want to create .debs, the cmake version bundled with some versions of ubuntu is buggy. Please build cmake from source (latest version)
  
=====  Requirement list for Qt4 version(Fedora 14)  =====  
Core 
  yum install pkgconfig fakeroot yasm
  yum install libpng zlib zlib-devel patch rpm-build
  yum install libsql3x-devel
Qt4  
  yum install qt4 qt4-devel

Then
