My purpose is to get some procedure review, clarifications and comments, and possibly also submit a few updates to build scripts for unbundled builds with system ffmpeg. My system is current openSUSE Tumbleweed-Slowroll with FFMpeg-8 installed from Packman community reposistory.

My understanding is that this should be a single-user build, dynamic linked and that the following two scripts are actual:

bld_prepare.sh (to install all dependices?) bld_dynamic.sh (does this complete the build procedure?)

5) I'm not sure the script "blds/bld_prepare.sh suse" was working due the last line error. How and where to fix it?

at line 79 or above :)

well, I'll look into it, from output above it seems script worked ? At least repo manager give us some output ...

...

6) Updating the bld_prepare.sh package list (Tumbleweed/Slowroll):

fftw3-devel I add-installed it manually

# zypper in fftw3-devel

The following 2 NEW packages are going to be installed: fftw3-devel libfftw3_threads3

python: A lot of python3 packages already installedFinnes mange python3 pakker installert

ilmbase: In newer versions of OpenEXR (which absorbed ilmbase), the library is often bundled within the OpenEXR-devel or libOpenEXR packages, rather than being a separate "ilmbase" package in some repositories.

# zypper in openexr openexr-devel openexr-doc The following 13 NEW packages are going to be installed: Imath-devel libdeflate-devel libjpeg62 libjpeg62-devel libOpenEXRUtil-3_4-33 libOpenEXRUtil-3_4-33-x86-64-v3 libstdc++-devel libz-ng-compat1 openexr openexr-devel openexr-doc openjph-devel zlib-ng-compat-devel

lzma-devel:

# zypper in lzma-sdk-devel

The following 3 NEW packages are going to be installed: liblzmasdk25 liblzmasdk25-x86-64-v3 lzma-sdk-devel

In openSUSE Tumbleweed, the development files for LZMA/XZ compression (equivalent to lzma-devel on other distributions) are contained in the xz-devel package.

# zypper in xz-devel

freetype-devel: In openSUSE Tumbleweed, the development package for FreeType is named freetype2-devel

# zypper in freetype2 freetype2-devel

The following 3 NEW packages are going to be installed: freetype2-devel libbrotli-devel libbz2-devel

---------

7) HWhw-Accel vpl, vulkan, vaapi

When hwaccel methods already are enabled in my system ffmpeg-8, are these devel packages is neccessary to build hw-accel support for unbundled Cingg?

If you build without-thirdparty - then I think no, those enables are for embedded copy of ffmpeg.

...

ffmpeg -hide_banner -hwaccels Hardware acceleration methods:

vdpau cuda vaapi qsv drm vulkan

But I added the following

zypper in libvpl-devel vulkan-devel vulkan-headers vulkan-loader libva-devel libva-gl-devel

The following recommended package was automatically selected: libva-gl-devel

The following 31 NEW packages are going to be installed: libdrm-devel libdrm_nouveau2 libdrm_radeon1 libffi-devel libglvnd-devel libpciaccess-devel libva-devel libva-gl-devel libvpl-devel libX11-devel libXau-devel libxcb-damage0 libxcb-dbe0 libxcb-devel libxcb-dpms0 libxcb-dri2-0 libxcb-record0 libxcb-screensaver0 libxcb-xf86dri0 libxcb-xtest0 libxcb-xvmc0 libXext-devel libXfixes-devel libXrandr-devel libXrender-devel Mesa-KHR-devel Mesa-libGL-devel vulkan-devel vulkan-headers wayland-devel xorgproto-devel

I guess this list useful for hw accelerated, bundled-ffmpeg build, so keep them noted in some txt file at least?

...

--------------

8) Build procedure further from here?

Where does the bld_dynamic.sh script fit in?

./configure --with-single-user --disable-static-build --without-thirdparty

(there are some typos in the manual: "confgure" instead of "configure" pdf page 12, 13. 653)

setting CFLAGS? should not be necessary, but you can try and see if it fails :)

I think --with-single-user is safer, and you can use

bld_appimage.sh

for appimage-ing result of (hopefully successful) compilation.

Note, I did not tried this with dynamic cingg build ... Hopefully appimagetool will only add loaders and not whole .. hw driver stack.

I think blds/bld_dynamic.sh is maintainer script more than user script

It was not updated to new git protocol (https vs git)

So you probably can skip it and just manually use your "--without-thirdparty --with-single-user --disable-static-build" configure line, and then make and make install

test and appimage it

Or possibly a configure line like this to include link to my system ffmpeg? "--without-thirdparty --with-single-user --disable-static-build --with-ffmpeg=/usr/bin/ffmpeg"

...

or alternatively (not sure about what is valid syntax) ?

./configure --with-single-user --disable-static-build --without-thirdparty --without-libdpx --with-systeml-ffmpeg

you can use configure --help to see supported arguments. I had idea about adding configure switch (in addition to env variable?) to pick up libav* libs from standard location, but this idea only lives in my head for now.

Yeah, but unhappily it won't work here:

cd /home3/cinelerra/cinelerra-5.1 #

./configure --help -bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

where is it? My thought was that "configure" isn't executable (yet)?

It does not exist yet. Run ./autogen.sh and it will hopefully generate it from configure.ac

ls -la *sh configure* -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 408 Feb 10 23:13 autogen.sh -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 3584 Feb 10 23:13 bld_appimage.sh -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 536 Feb 10 23:13 bld.sh -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 44376 Feb 10 23:13 configure.ac -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 310 Feb 10 23:13 inst.sh

The closest chmod 755 configure.ac ls -la configure* -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 44376 Feb 10 23:13 configure.ac

./configure --help -bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

./configure.ac --help ./configure.ac: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `[2.69]' ./configure.ac: line 2: `AC_PREREQ([2.69])'

----------------

Further, I've tried to compare with what were suggested for my earlier build, and try to figure out if here are two procedures/scripts to follow and what is the difference:

Andrew replied:

https://lists.cinelerra-gg.org/archives/list/[email protected]/mess...

2) - cd to directory where ./autogen.sh located. 2a - set additional environment variables if you need so via export command 3) run ./autogen.sh 4) run ./configure with all switches you need. (for first try probably --with-single-user so build will be user-local, no need for installing into system)

my current build uses "./configure --with-single-user --with-git-ffmpeg= https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git"

but ffmpeg.git can be broken at any time by ffmpeg development process :(

5) run make 6) if doing single user build also run make install 7) run it from same directory as bin/cin (you can "ls bin" just to see if all files were build/installed)

You need to do cd /home/cinelerra/cinelerra-5.1 Then run "blds/bld_prepare.sh <os>" , where <os> is your os,

run blds/bld_prepare.sh without argument to get a list of OS-ses. This installs the needed development packages for your OS.

then (still in /home/cinelerra/cinelerra-5.1):

in bld.sh, change the config options to what you want.

./bld.sh (if not making an AppImage)

At first look, the latter seems simpler with fewer steps if it works here; comments +/- ?

Well, I just tried to be a bit extra verbose, and spell out changes we needed back then for enabling openvpl and stuff (now it should be just configure switch).

----------------

Further, I've tried to compare with what were suggested for my earlier build, and try to figure out if here are two procedures/scripts to follow and what is the difference:

Andrew replied: https://lists.cinelerra-gg.org/archives/list/[email protected]/mess...

2) - cd to directory where ./autogen.sh located. 2a - set additional environment variables if you need so via export command 3) run ./autogen.sh 4) run ./configure with all switches you need. (for first try probably --with-single-user so build will be user-local, no need for installing into system)

my current build uses "./configure --with-single-user --with-git-ffmpeg=https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git"

but ffmpeg.git can be broken at any time by ffmpeg development process :(

5) run make 6) if doing single user build also run make install 7) run it from same directory as bin/cin (you can "ls bin" just to see if all files were build/installed)

MatN replied: https://lists.cinelerra-gg.org/archives/list/[email protected]/mess...

You need to do cd /home/cinelerra/cinelerra-5.1 Then run "blds/bld_prepare.sh <os>" , where <os> is your os,

run blds/bld_prepare.sh without argument to get a list of OS-ses. This installs the needed development packages for your OS.

then (still in /home/cinelerra/cinelerra-5.1):

in bld.sh, change the config options to what you want.

./bld.sh (if not making an AppImage)

At first look, the latter seems simpler with fewer steps if it works here; comments +/- ?

Well, I just tried to be a bit extra verbose, and spell out changes we needed back then for enabling openvpl and stuff (now it should be just configure switch).

...

----------------

I had idea about adding configure switch (in addition to env variable?) to pick up libav* libs from standard location, but this idea only lives in my head for now.

8) Build procedure further from here?

Where does the bld_dynamic.sh script fit in?

./configure --with-single-user --disable-static-build --without-thirdparty

(there are some typos in the manual: "confgure" instead of "configure" pdf page 12, 13. 653)

setting CFLAGS?

should not be necessary, but you can try and see if it fails :)

I think --with-single-user is safer, and you can use

bld_appimage.sh

for appimage-ing result of (hopefully successful) compilation.

Note, I did not tried this with dynamic cingg build ... Hopefully appimagetool will only add loaders and not whole .. hw driver stack.

I think blds/bld_dynamic.sh is maintainer script more than user script

It was not updated to new git protocol (https vs git)

So you probably can skip it and just manually use your "--without-thirdparty --with-single-user --disable-static-build" configure line, and then make and make install

test and appimage it

Or possibly a configure line like this to include link to my system ffmpeg?

"--without-thirdparty --with-single-user --disable-static-build --with-ffmpeg=/usr/bin/ffmpeg"

or possibly?

./configure --with-single-user --disable-static-build --without-thirdparty --without-libdpx --with-external-ffmpeg

or alternatively (not sure about what is valid syntax) ?

./configure --with-single-user --disable-static-build --without-thirdparty --without-libdpx --with-systeml-ffmpeg

A Quick Comparison from Google/ai tells (does not need to be correct):

--with-external-ffmpeg Uses the specific FFmpeg version bundled in the Cinelerra thirdparty/ directory. --with-system-ffmpeg Uses the FFmpeg libraries already installed on your OS

you can use configure --help to see supported arguments.

Yeah, but unhappily it won't work here:

cd /home3/cinelerra/cinelerra-5.1 #

./configure --help -bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

where is it? My thought was that "configure" isn't executable (yet)?

It does not exist yet.

Run ./autogen.sh and it will hopefully generate it from configure.ac

Issue with ./autogen.sh and ./configure which worked earlier on Slowroll. Tried to install dh-autoreconf, but this didn't solve it

The dh_autoreconf command creates a list of the files and their checksums, calls autoreconf and then creates a second list for the new files.

The dh_autoreconf_clean command compares these two lists and removes all files which have been added or changed (files may be excluded if needed).

For CDBS users, a rule is provided to call the dh-autoreconf programs at the right time.

And "configure" is not created yet

[aggressively snip]

I have perl and a lot of perl- packages installed.

/home3/cinelerra/cinelerra-5.1 # autoreconf Can't exec "aclocal": No such file or directory at /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 299. autoreconf: error: aclocal failed with exit status: 2

aclocal must be in

https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=openSUSE%3AFactory&packa...

install THIS too.

Yes, thanks. Another evident that "blds/bld_prepare.sh suse" didn't install the complete package list. Both automake and fftw3-devel were on the package list. I installed the latter manually afterwards.

yes, but Im not sure about that it complain ... "man test" and "man bash" both show -L and -f test conditions exist May be it complain about ln -s command? You can try to comment this out with # and see if bld_prepare.sh now works for suse ?

At the same time, to cleanup I think build_prepare.sh should have two separate package sections for respectively

suse|leap (LTS, enterprise, older versions) tumbleweed|slowroll (rolling new versions and packages)

# zypper in automake

from zypper info: Automake is a tool for automatically generating "Makefile.in" files from "Makefile.am" files. "Makefile.am" is a series of "make" macro definitions (with rules occasionally thrown in). The generated "Makefile.in" files are compatible with the GNU Makefile standards.

But unhappily, still not success:

Install libtool .... /me updating Fedora 42 on qemu ..well, at some point it will finish I hope! I tried build with libplacebo and it stopped due to some errors in libplacebo's includes, so I'm trying to update whole thing and see if it work.

You commented it also on my 2024 installation, at that time line 77

https://lists.cinelerra-gg.org/archives/list/[email protected]/mess...

Choose from above solutions by number or skip, retry or cancel [1/2/s/r/c/d/?] (c): c blds/bld_prepare.sh: line 77: [: missing `]' ocalhost:/home/cinelerra/cinelerra-5.1 #

Looks like a typo in blds/bld_prepare.sh: line 77: [: missing `]'

it seems error catching in our script is not great? If 'c' mean cancel for zypper command then may be condition on line 77 misfired ..? and also we need to add openmlib-devel to list? (newer heard about such pkg name before - but Iam on Slackware so it probably rolled into libc package)

You can try to comment this out with # and see if bld_prepare.sh now works for suse ?

I commented out # line 79-82, which avoided the claimed line 79: [: missing `]' but didn't seem to complete the package installation.

But possibly I have found an installation syntax error in the "bld_prepare suse" script:

I changed the order from "zypper -n install" to "zypper in -n" <exact package names> and ran this install command and package list manually.

So it looks like your suggestion about splitting slowroll into its own section is correct one. Care to edit this script and send it or git diff with your changes to list (probably not at 5 am ....)

( ./autogen.sh ./configure --with-single-user --with-booby make && make install ) 2>&1 | tee log mv Makefile Makefile.cfg cp Makefile.devel Makefile

Should I edit the configure line in bld.sh from ./configure --with-single-user --with-booby to ./configure --with-single-user --disable-static-build --without-thirdparty --without-libdpx --enable-ffmpeg

Ffmpeg (libs) enabled (needed) unconditionally (ac3 encoder depend on it, and bdwrite) so ./configure --with-single-user --disable-static-build --without-thirdparty --without-libdpx should work

and get keep all that already are enabled in the system ffmpeg-8 (i.e --enable-libvpl --enable-vaapi --enable-vdpau)?

Hopefully. But with all this moving mess I can't be sure. Try and tell us ....
