[Cin] Testing Appimage with OneVPL and QSV presets on legacy Intel hardware

Mon Dec 9 20:31:03 CET 2024

In trying to determine where the error is, I was not able to ascertain
where things went wrong so I started from scratch to get the steps correct.
Although I can say for sure that the last error of:

> Alt+h
> sh: line 1: /home/cinelerra/cinelerra-5.1/bin/doc/ContextManual.pl: No
> such file or directory
>
is for sure telling me that the default file, which is part of the original
source and you should still see in /home/cinelerra/cinelerra-5.1/doc, is
missing in /home/cinelerra/cinelerra-5.1/bin/doc; that is ContextManual.pl.
Something must have gotten deleted or not copied to AppDir/usr in its
entirety.

If it is not too much trouble, I would do a fresh build and only then
execute directly "in the bin/doc directory":
   tar xvf HTML_Manual-20241031.tgz
then before running your appimage build, check by executing "bin/cin" and
doing Alt h.
If that works then the copy via bld_appimage.sh should result in Help being
automatically included.

Standing by here for results.
