Cinelerra 2.1
x86_64

How can I build Cinelerra 2.1 from source for the x86_64 architecture? I have downloaded the source tar, and un-tarred it into a new directory. When I run the configure script, I get errors saying that bash can not find the "arch" command. I am using the x86_64 build of Ubuntu, and there is no arch command. It does have uname. If I run make after the configure error, it does not work.

Try './configure -help' to see if the usage output gives a hint how to invoke 'arch' in the configuration.

No, there was no hint with the -help command.

Quote:

./configure -help
./configure: 11: arch: not found
./configure: 24: arch: not found
[: 24: i686: unexpected operator
[: 31: ==: unexpected operator
./configure: 47: Syntax error: Bad fd number

You can get the configure file and all the rest from http://heroinewarrior.com/download.php3.

From what I have read, the heroinewarrior version of Cinelerra is no longer being maintained (could be wrong), but it is now being maintained by some former developers as Cinelerra.org:

You can also get Cinelerra from the Meiabuntu repository and install it with Synaptic Package Manager. That is how I got it and it is continued to be supported.

Thanks, I am tyring to build Cinelerra because I had some problems with the Ubuntu version. Does anyone know how to get the "arch" command to work in Ubuntu?
