Making compiled Avidemux work

[bartmanus]

Hi!

I tried using the rpmFusion repository packages (2.6.4 at the moment) for some simple mp4 cuts but I experienced a crash when seeking in the file.

Because that version is old I won't post backtraces. And I also wanted to try to compile the latest stable version (2.6.7). I have finally managed to get the qt4 gui but when I try to load any video (ogv/mp4/avi) I get two error dialogs:
"Cannot find a demuxer for <filename>"
"Could not open the file"

From the wiki I gather that Avidemux source contains all necessary methods so an external library isn't needed. So why can't I open any file?

EDIT: I should explain how I compile and run the program. I don't generate packages, I just run it in-place:

bartmanus@tardis:~/bin/avidemux/avidemux_2.6.7$ bash bootStrap.bash
bartmanus@tardis:~/bin/avidemux/avidemux_2.6.7/install/usr/bin$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../../usr/lib64 ./avidemux3_qt4

Thanks for your help!

The plugins are not loaded

I missed some error output in the console! You are right, the plugins do not load. I didn't see the errors before, they are output in green color! May i suggest outputting such messages in bold yellow or even red?

In the end I decided to rebuild with rpm packages and forcefully install everything because there are unresolved dependencies when rpm check for them:

$ bash bootStrap.bash --rpm
# rpm -i --nodeps ~/bin/avidemux/avidemux_2.6.7/debs/avidemux3-*rpm

avidemux now starts but I have the same crash as in version 2.6.4. I will try svn next.
