Troubles of Avidemux under Linux Mint 18.3

[chucks]

Hi!
I use Avidemux several month under Mint 17.2 without any troubles.
Thanks for best tools, and expecially for possibility of Timelapse movie creating!
But when now I update my OS to Mint 18.3 release, I have troubles since installation process of it...

Firstly, I attempt install it at command:

sudo apt-get install avidemux2.6

it gave me huge list of notes and errors! -- I cannot attach it here...

Secondly, when using Ubuntu Application Manager for finding 'avidemux', presents many releases of this program. When I choose avidemux2.6_gtk - I mean, it's reasonable for DE Cinnamon of Mint Linux - I have done installing, but absolutely not usable apps!

It's very strange situation: as result, have installing... Avidemux3 (!!!) -- who was displayed in Application Liston my OS!.. Attempt to start it here do not give me NONE result. Attempt to start under command line gave me this output:

USER@USER-pc ~ $ avidemux
avidemux: error while loading shared libraries: libADM6avcodec.so.56: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

USER@USER-pc ~ $ avidemux2.6_gtk
avidemux2.6_gtk: command not found

USER@USER-pc ~ $ avidemux3_gtk
avidemux3_gtk: error while loading shared libraries: libADM6avcodec.so.56: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

UPD: It strange named apps -- aka Avidemux 3 -- may be is result of my others attempting to using alternative repos: connect a repositoryes with many Internet 'suggestions'... But as result, I remove this any others repos, because I has negative results only... But using now just 'official' repo (with Ubuntu Application Manager), -- it cannot gave me none too...

Attempting using only avidemux2.6_cli, -- who I can install them too, -- gave me this terminal output:

USER@USER-pc $ avidemux2.6_cli

In general: I attempted several methods for installing Avidemux under Linux Mint 18.3, include two-stage-install: firstly I install CLI release, secondly - GTK. But it's are not works and now too...

What is fuck it?!
Sadly that very good program on deal have such many uncompatables...

Any ideas? Thanks!

P.S. Attempts me to write 'report', who possible just in Ubuntu App Manager, -- using them this link: https://community.linuxmint.com/software/view/avidemux2.6-gtk -- thrown me to this page:

"Application not found
avidemux2.6-gtk could not be found.
This usually happens when an application is new in the repositories (or Flatpak) and isn't yet known to the Community website.
You can ask the Linux Mint team to import avidemux2.6-gtk into the Community website, by sending an email to root@linuxmint.com"

P.P.S. Sorry, I find not 'spoyler' possibility here...

Try building this way: Avidemux on Ubuntu Easy build from GIT
Report back if still issues arise.

[eumagga0x2a]

Please hold on just a little bit until build is fixed.

Hi! Thanks for answer and suggesting!

I to do it just on recomended path (under git).
But it's errored on last stage -- see plerase 'tail' of terminal output:

---output---
CMake Warning:
  Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:

    CMAKE_EDIT_COMMAND

:-((((( Any ideas?

P.S. Sorry, I haven't knowledge for building and macking Linux Apps, but basic knowledge under Linux I just have...

Well, thanks for answer

[eumagga0x2a]

You can just copy one of the codes from http://avidemux.org/smif/index.php/topic,18303.msg83910.html#msg83910 into a text file, e.g. "build_fix.patch", put this file into the "avidemux2" directory, cd into this directory, apply the patch with

Code Select Expand

patch -p1 < build_fix.patch

and rerun

Code Select Expand

bash createDebFromSourceUbuntu.bash

[eumagga0x2a]

The build is fixed now. Instead of applying the patch, just run

Code Select Expand

git pull

to update the source code, then continue as described above.

[Two months later] I cannot install Avidemux on my Mint partition from the repositories. Synaptic offers multiple options and no combination has worked.

[eumagga0x2a]

Please complain to maintainers of these repositories. The only supported way to install Avidemux is either running it from the appImage or building it from source.

[uthappam]

Thank you.
I first tried avidemux_2.7.1v2.appImage but it does not run. Then I got nowhere with avidemux_2.7.1.tar.gz, which gave

Well, you've borked package management by adding deb-multimedia.org repo. Purge all packages from this repo and disable the repo. See https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/FAQ#Common_issues as well.

[uthappam]

There was no error message from Avidemux appImage. I did not try to run it from the command line. It ran under Debian, though.

I have the deb-multimedia repository in Debian: but I do not have it in Mint.

[eumagga0x2a]

There was no error message from Avidemux appImage. I did not try to run it from the command line.

Obviously, you should run it on the command line.

It ran under Debian, though.

AFAIK the appImage was also built on Debian.

I have the deb-multimedia repository in Debian: but I do not have it in Mint.

Don't mix unrelated stuff then, please. The topic was about Avidemux on Linux Mint.

I was talking about Mint. When you spoke of deb-multimedia I had to say that I do not have it on Mint. Debian was mentioned only in passing -- or else to enable you to make the related observation that the appImage was built on Debian.

[Jan Gruuthuse]

Based on Debian and Ubuntu, it provides about 30,000 packages and one of the best software managers.
