Help installing Avidemux 2.6.4 please.

[Gandalf]

I am using Vector Linux 7.0 as my operating system, and I am experiencing problems installing Avidemux 2.6.4 onto my computer (yes, I downloaded and the file from your website and decompressed it), and according to the instructions for installing it, I am to type in "cmake .", at which point I got the following error message:

CMake Error: The source directory "/home/doctor/avidemux_2.6.4" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.

So what should I do now (yes, I started out in 'avidemux_2.6.4', which I assumed is where I was supposed to start)? Thanks in advance for your kind assistance.

Deja vu 
One more

Sorry about that, I had forgotten that I already posted about it before, so when was going through it again (with version 2.6.4 this timr) I got to the point where I was to enter the following commands:

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 got the following response:

root:# make -C buildCore install
make: *** buildCore: No such file or directory.  Stop.
vector://home/doctor/avidemux_2.6.4/debs
root:# make -C buildCli install
make: *** buildCli: No such file or directory.  Stop.
vector://home/doctor/avidemux_2.6.4/debs
root:# make -C buildQt4 install
make: *** buildQt4: No such file or directory.  Stop.
vector://home/doctor/avidemux_2.6.4/debs
root:# make -C buildPluginsCommon install
make: *** buildPluginsCommon: No such file or directory.  Stop.
vector://home/doctor/avidemux_2.6.4/debs
root:# make -C buildPluginsCLI install
make: *** buildPluginsCLI: No such file or directory.  Stop.
vector://home/doctor/avidemux_2.6.4/debs
root:# make -C buildPluginsQt4 install
make: *** buildPluginsQt4: No such file or directory.  Stop.
vector://home/doctor/avidemux_2.6.4/debs
root:# make -C buildPluginsSettings install
make: *** buildPluginsSettings: No such file or directory.  Stop.

And yes, I followed all the instructions found in the other thread, so any suggestions/solutions will be greatly appreciated.

Is script not working?

Code Select Expand

bash bootStrap.bash --tgz --with-qt4 --without-gtk --with-cli
and then install from those tgz?

Have you tried make -C  as user and not as root/super user?

[Gandalf]

Yes, I tried "make -C" as user, and got the following output (more or less):

sudo make install -C xxx
or do it as root

[Gandalf]

Thank you. Now where do I go from here as far as actually getting it installed on my system?

[Jan Gruuthuse]

Install these modules in this order if these where created separately:

• avidemux3-core-2.6.4-8696-Linux
• avidemux3-plugins-COMMON-2.6.4-8696-Linux
• avidemux3-qt4-2.6.4-8696-Linux
• avidemux3-plugins-QT4-2.6.4-8696-Linux
• avidemux3-cli-2.6.4-8696-Linux
• avidemux3-plugins-CLI-2.6.4-8696-Linux
• avidemux3-plugins-SETTINGS-2.6.4-8696-Linux

call from terminal:

Code Select Expand

/usr/bin/avidemux3_qt4
or create a link doing the same. If you have the possibility, use setting that keeps terminal open and stays open after closing avidemux. If something did go wrong you can check immediately in the terminal output.

[Gandalf]

And how do I go about doing that (and please keep in mind that as  of right now, there is NO internet documentation on how j to do that?

[Jan Gruuthuse]

it all depends:
if you created the --tgz then you install these, as you would install other packages on your linux.
Or did these install correctly:

Code Select Expand

sudo make -C buildCore install
sudo make -C buildCli install
sudo make -C buildQt4 install
sudo make -C buildPluginsCommon install
sudo make -C buildPluginsCLI install
sudo make -C buildPluginsQt4 install
sudo make -C buildPluginsSettings install
then avidemux would be installed.

Why dont you just use the bootStrap.bash script ?
It does all the work for you

I already tried that, which is why I was asking for assistance in the first place.

[Gandalf]

It turns out that after I upgraded some software for my operating system, I ran the "bootStrap.bash" script, and it did create the subdirectories that I need my question now is - Where do I put those subdirectories, and how do I get my operating system to recognize the updated version?
