Installation help please.

[Gandalf]

I am in the process of trying to install Avidemux 2.6.3 onto my computer, and I have encountered something of a dilemma in that when I go to run cmake from the source directory, I get a message saying that CMakeLists.txt is not found. How do I go about resolving this issue? My operating system is Vector Linux 7.0.

Use:

Code Select Expand

sh bootStrap.bash --with-cli
This will build Avidemux automatically.
Append --tgz  to command line, if you want to build  tgz packages!

[Gandalf]

Thanks. I'll try it and let you know how the result.

After trying your suggestion, I ended up with five (5) different files, all of which had an extension of ".tar.gz" (I need a package with a ".tgz" extension). Any suggestions?

You can install files like this:

Code Select Expand

make -C buildCore install
make -C buildCli install
make -C buildQt4 install
make -C buildPluginsCommon install
make -C buildPluginsCLI install
make -C buildPluginsQt4 install
make -C buildPluginsSettings install

[Gandalf]

Thank you.

You can install files like this:

Code Select Expand

make -C buildCore install
make -C buildCli install
make -C buildQt4 install
make -C buildPluginsCommon install
make -C buildPluginsCLI install
make -C buildPluginsQt4 install
make -C buildPluginsSettings install

I tried that, got to the last command, and got the following output -

vector://home/doctor/avidemux_2.6.3
root:# make -C buildPluginsSettings install
make: *** buildPluginsSettings: No such file or directory.  Stop.
vector://home/doctor/avidemux_2.6.3
root:#

So what do I do now?

[mean]

update to 2.6.4 and do as mit said

[Gandalf]

That is exactly what I have been TRYING to do this whole time.

[mean]

you are using 2.6.3 that's why you miss one folder
try 2.6.4

[Gandalf]

Sorry about that - I just installed version 2.6.4. Now how to I get my system to recognize it (my operating system is Vector Linux 7.0)?

[Jan Gruuthuse]

Not sure I do understand you correctly?
Starting avidemux from terminal: avidemux3_qt4?
change settings in avidemux preferences: main menu: edit: preferences:
[Audio] select available audio device
[Video] select available video display: xvideo or VDPAU, stay away from openGl
[v] decode video using VDPAU (if vdpau is available)
[v] enable openGL support (if installed, even when openGl display is not selected
If that was not your question, please clarify your question.

[Gandalf]

Sorry about that, what I meant was - How do I get Vector Linux 7.0 to recognize that I installed Avidemux 2.6.4, or did I miss something as far as how to properly install it is concerned? And since I am on the subject, it would help if I had the Avidemux software in TGZ (package) format.

[Jan Gruuthuse]

Have you not build avidemux from source ? Don't know if in Vector linux you should build as root?
In debian based you would build as user not as root?
If you have subversion installed? Get source:
These would create a folder avidemux_2.6_branch_mean @ your home location

Code Select Expand

cd ~/
svn co svn://svn.berlios.de/avidemux/branches/avidemux_2.6_branch_mean
Build avidemux:

Code Select Expand

cd ~/avidemux_2.6_branch_mean
svn update
bash bootStrap.bash --with-qt4 --without-gtk --with-cli --tgz
If there is more to it, mit or an other vector linux user will tell you so.

[Gandalf]

I have tried all that and I STILL don't get any files with a .tgz extension.
