[CinCV TNG] Building in Gentoo; Was: Re: Cinelerra 5.1: Two bugs

[Good Guy]

Hi,

These are generic build instructions for building cinelerra 5.1.

I have not yet tried this on gentoo, so I do not know what it will do,
but chances are it may work or only need minor tweaks to work.
So with that in mind:

1) you need a at least 2.5GB of disk storage to operate a build.
2) I recommend you build and run as root,
  just to avoid permission issues at least for the time being.
3) the "git" step has to download a bunch of stuff.  (approx 100MB)
   give it some time to finish.

Run:

cd /<build_path>/
git clone --depth 1 "git://git.cinelerra-cv.org/goodguy/cinelerra.git"
cinelerra5
cd cinelerra5/cinelerra-5.1
./configure
make >& log

This will run for a while.
To watch the build log, use add "&" to the make, like:

make >& log &
tail -f log

^C when the tail -f log stops   It normally ends with:
make[1]: Leaving directory '/<build_path>/cinelerra5/cinelerra-5.1'

When this completes, I use:

grep "\*\*\*.*error" -ai log

to see if there are obvious build errors.

If this reports build errors, email me the log from:
/<build_path>/cinelerra5/cinelerra-5.1/log
mailto: good1.2guy at gmail.com
and I will see what can be done.

If this does not report errors, then run:
make install >> log

on the oft chance that it actually builds on the first try, I would
copy the bin directory to a a good spot, and reset the file permissions
to match the needed user/group etc...

mkdir /opt
cp -a /<build_path>/cinelerra5/cinelerra-5.1/lbin /opt/cin
chown -R "owner:group" /opt/cin

If it all worked, you are all setup.  Just run:
/opt/cin/cinelerra

Good luck.  Let me know how it goes.

gg
