Hello, In the Message; Subject : [opensuse] Compiling an app from source has now changed? Message-ID : <514547D2.5030502@iinet.net.au> Date & Time: Sun, 17 Mar 2013 15:34:26 +1100 Basil Chupin has written:

I need Cinelerra for 12.3 but it's nowhere in sight so I downloaded the source code and am trying to compile it using the instructions in the package.

However, when I try to use './configure' I get the one finger salute telling me that there is no such thing as ./configure. (Yes, I do have autoconf 'installed' in YaST.)

Maybe, you got the source from git repository. If so, do ./autogen.sh first. This produces configure script. Regards, --- ┏━━┓彡 Masaru Nomiya mail-to: nomiya @ galaxy.dti.ne.jp ┃＼／彡 ┗━━┛ "Bill!

Has something changed that makes it not possible now to compile from source? (I haven't compiled an app. for years but the instructions in the Cinelerra package are only a (?)year or so old.)

Hi Basil, I tried downloading the source from the git repository and ran autoreconf -i --force This worked to create the ./configure file on a 12.2 system. ./configure complained about missing mandatory libraries which I was able to satisfy with yast2 except one: mjpegtools I tried a compile, but it failed looking for mjpegtools. I give up at this point, the rest is left as an exercise for the student. :-) Regards, Lew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
