Andrea,

You can get past the "CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:65 (pkg_check_modules):  Unknown CMake command "pkg_check_modules"."

by adding this line in cinelerra-5.1/CMakeLists.txt

   find_package(PkgConfig REQUIRED)

before line 65 which reads:

  pkg_check_modules(X11 REQUIRED IMPORTED_TARGET x11)

I will make note of this in the Bug Tracker qt6 category now that I know it is just not my problem.

However, I next get this error which I have not diagnosed yet:

   make[2]: *** [cinelerra/CMakeFiles/cin.dir/build.make:7479: cinelerra/CMakeFiles/cin.dir/transcribe_engine.C.o] Error 1

Please let me know if you get this same error further along on your next attempt so I know it is just not me.  Thank you, Phyllis

I tried to build it using your commands, but I'm getting a CMake error. I'm attaching the terminal output and the `configure.log` file.

Anyway, don't waste your time trying to help me—I don't know anything about compiling, and I was only able to compile the classic CinGG because I copied and pasted the commands. It's up to you whether it's worth trying to figure out my problem or just letting it go.

Regarding the tests:

Overlay plugin: Sorry, it's my fault. I had forgotten that the “overlay plugin” is a shared effect, and I had placed it only on the top track.

Videoscopes: It's amazing! I don't know how to thank you.

Drop-down list: All OK, thanks.

PS: I tried launching CinGG-QT6 with `QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland`, and it seems to be working. But I'm not sure if I'm running on Wayland or XWayland.
