Question Building Cinelerra-CV from git repository - syntax error


New installation of Suse 11.3. Trying to build Cinelerra-CV from http://www.cinelerra.org/

Quote:
The source code of Cinelerra-CV is available from a git repository. To get a copy for compilation use the following command

git clone git://git.cinelerra.org/j6t/cinelerra.git my_cinelerra

You can modify this working copy, and submit your patches to the mailing list, or ask for your own repo or for permission to push to one of the existing ones.
From the README.BUILD file, you are told to build autoreconf -i. This gives an error:

Code:
autoreconf -i
autopoint: File m4/gettext.m4 has been locally modified.
autopoint: File po/Makefile.in.in has been locally modified.
autopoint: *** Some files have been locally modified. Not overwriting them because --force has not been specified. For your convenience, you find the local modifications in the file '/tmp/armLWFEY/gtOZ8WtA/autopoint.diff'.
autopoint: *** Stop.
autoreconf: autopoint failed with exit status: 1
Running autoreconf with the "force" option works:

Code:
autoreconf -if
 autoreconf -if

You could look and how Arch and Gentoo are building it. I've noticed that both apply many patches.

http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/comm...erra-cv/trunk/

Fixing build with gcc 4.5

This is from the Arch patches for Cinelerra-CV mentioned by dugan. Can someone explain the C++ differences for the List<Edit>::List<Edit>();?
I'll take a look at the patches and see if that will help to build it.

Edit:
The syntax error was from a file not being built, which could mean that there is an error in the Makefile, which I was able to fix as in this web page:

http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/cinelerracv-project

Quote:
The compiler reported the following issue :

ar: .libs/reconmmx.o: No such file or directory

Thanks to Google I discovered this solution :

cd $HOME/src/my_cinelerra/libmpeg3/video
nasm -f elf reconmmx.s -o reconmmx.o
cp reconmmx.o .libs/reconmmx.o
Did not have the other errors in that web page on cinelerra. After applying the patch from the Arch site, by editing the file "cinelerra/edits.C" it built.

Now, I would like to run cinelerra without installing it, by giving the full path name to see that it runs. From a previous installation of Cinelerra, I remember that it had to have superuser privileges. Is that still the way it runs?

Cinelerra-CV runs

Cinelerra-CV did run after building it, installing it, and running the update library path command:

ldconfig

It would be good to know the reasons for the compile errors.
