If my understanding is correct, the standard pre-built CinGG
packages are static binaries with all required thirdparty, ffmpeg
and libs included(?)
Would it be possible to combine static and dynamic in one pre-built
so that users via setting could select what they want, ffmpeg and
libs included or from the system?
Or is two different pre-builts required?
Experiences with the latter?
---------
Refer to extracted sections from the CinGG manual Chapter 1 -
Installation below:
If you prefer to not have to take the time to build CINELERRA-GG
Infinity yourself,
there are pre-built dynamic or static binaries for various versions
of Ubuntu, Mint,
Suse, Fedora, Debian ........
The pkgs directory contains the standard packaged application for
various distros.
This will install a dynamic system version for users who prefer to
have the binaries
in the system area

Notes about Building from Git in your Customized Environment
Getting a build to work in a custom environment is not easy. If you
have already installed libraries which are normally in the
thirdparty build, getting them to be recognized means you have to
install the devel version so the header files which match the
library interfaces exist. If you want to build using only the
thirdparty libraries installed in your system, just include
"–without-thirdparty" to your configure script. For example:
./confgure --with-single-user --disable-static-build
--without-thirdparty
Below is the list of thirdparty builds, but this list may have
changed over time.
Table 1.1: List of thirdparty builds
a52dec
yes
djbfft yes
ffmpeg yes
fftw auto
flac auto
giflib yes
ilmbase auto
lame auto
libavc1394 auto
libraw1394 auto
libiec61883 auto
libdv auto
..........
The yes means force build and auto means probe and use the system
version if the build operation is not static. To get your customized
build to work, you need to change the probe options for the
conflicting libraries from yes to auto, or even rework the
configure.ac script. There may be several libraries which need
special treatment.
An example of a problem you might encounter with your customized
installation is with a52dec which has probes line
(CHECK_LIB/CHECK_HEADERS) in
configure.ac, but djbfft does not. In
this case, djbfft is only built because a52dec is built, so if your
system has a52dec, set a52dec to auto and see if that problem is
solved by retrying the build with:
./confgure
--with-single-user -enable-a52dec=auto .
With persistence, you can get results, but it may take several tries
to stabilize the build. If you need help, email the log and
config.log, which is usually sufficient to determine why a build
failed.
If you have already installed the libfdk_aac development package on
your computer because you prefer this version over the default aac,
you will have to do the following to get this alternative
operational. The libfdk_aac library is not a part of CINELERRA-GG by
default because it is not license free.
export
FFMPEG_EXTRA_CFG=" --enable-libfdk-aac --enable-nonfree"
export EXTRA_LIBS=" -lfdk-aac"
for f in `grep -lw aac cinelerra-5.1/ffmpeg/audio/*`; do
sed -e 's/\<aac\>/libfdk_aac/' -i $f
done
