These are generic build instructions for building Cinelerra-GG Infinity.
Known to work on Ubuntu, Mint, Suse/Leap, Fedora, Debian, Centos, Arch, and Slackware.
-It has not been tested on every single possible distro yet so you might expect to have to make some minor changes.

Patches have been created to build on FreeBSD through the work of another programmer and a Gentoo version is being maintained elsewhere by another programmer.
Alternatively, there are some pre-built dynamic or static binaries which are updated on a fairly regular basis (as long as code changes have been made) available at the link below.
Both of these can be configured during installation.
These differences make it possible to have several different versions installed without having them “walk” on each other.

\begin{enumerate}
\item
application name can be set during installation and defaults to: “\texttt{cin}”
\item The "\texttt{git}" step has to download many files (approx 130\,MB) so allow time. When decompressed this will expand to about 530 MB.
\item Run the following commands (this takes awhile):
- \begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+ \begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ cd /<build_path>/ # this is where you need the 6.0GB of disk space
$ git clone --depth 1 "git://git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cinelerra.git" cinelerra5
$ cd cinelerra5/cinelerra-5.1 # toplevel directory
NOTE: if your system has never had Cinelerra-GG Infinity installed, you will have to make sure you have all of the compilers and libraries necessary.
So on the very first build you should run:
- \begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+ \begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ ./blds/bld_prepare.sh <os> # where <os> represents the Operating System of Centos, Fedora, Suse, Leap, Ubuntu, Debian.
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr # optional parameters can be added here
$ make 2>&1 | tee log # make and log the build
\end{lstlisting}
\item Check for obvious build errors:
- \begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+ \begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ grep "\*\*\*.*error" -ai log
\end{lstlisting}
If this reports errors and you need assistance or you think improvements can be made to the build s,
- \begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+ \begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ /<build_path>/cinelerra5/cinelerra-5.1/log
\end{lstlisting}
\item If there are no build errors, finally just run:
- \begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+ \begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ make install
\end{lstlisting}
\item If it all worked, you are all setup. Just click on the Cinelerra desktop icon.
\item Recommend you build and run as \textbf{root}, just to avoid permission issues initially.
\item The "\texttt{git}" step has to download many files (approx 130\,MB) so allow time.
\item Run the following commands (this takes awhile):
- \begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+ \begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ cd /<build_path>/ # this is where you need the 6GB of disk space
$ git clone --depth 1 "git://git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cinelerra.git" cinelerra5
$ cd cinelerra5/cinelerra-5.1 # toplevel directory
NOTE: if your system has never had Cinelerra-GG Infinity installed, you will have to make sure all
the compilers and libraries necessary are installed. So on the very first build you should run as \textbf{root}:
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ ./blds/bld_prepare.sh <os> # where <os> represents the Operating System of centos, fedora, suse, leap, ubuntu, debian.
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --with-single-user # the “with-single-user” parameter makes it so
Then just start the application by keying in: ./cin in the bin subdirectory OR add a desktop icon by
using the appropriate directory to copy the files to, run as \textbf{root}, and edit to correct the directory path.
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ cd /cinelerra_directory_path
$ cp -a image/cin.{svg,xpm} /usr/share/pixmaps/.
$ cp -a image/cin.desktop /usr/share/applications/cin.desktop
To see the full list of features use:
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ ./configure -help
\end{lstlisting}
The default build is a system build which uses:
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ ./configure -without-single-user
\end{lstlisting}
However, you can rename files after the install is complete.
If your operating system has issues with the default install to \texttt{/usr/local}, you might have to change the location to \texttt{/usr} for a system build. Then you will have to use:
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
\end{lstlisting}
If you wish to change the default directory for a system build you will have to add the destination directory path on the “\texttt{make install}” line. For example:
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ make install DESTDIR=<your selected target directory path>
\end{lstlisting}
The application name can be set during installation, but defaults to cin so that the GG/Infinity build can coexist with other Cinelerra builds if necessary. To override the default cin name, use:
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ ./configure --with-exec-name=cinelerra
\end{lstlisting}
The home configuration directory can also be set, but default location is \texttt{\$HOME/.bcast5}.
For example:
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ ./configure -with-config-dir=/myusername/.bcast5
\end{lstlisting}
It may be necessary on some distros which have missing or incomplete up-to-date libraries, to build cinelerra without Ladspa.
To do so, use:
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --without-ladspa-build
\end{lstlisting}
Note for 32-bit 14.2 Slackware, Debian, Gentoo, Arch, FreeBSD, before running the configure, you will need to set up the following:
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ export ac_cv_header_xmmintrin_h=no
$ export FFMPEG_EXTRA_CFG=" --disable-vdpau"
\end{lstlisting}
An example of a problem you might encounter with your customized installation is with “\texttt{a52dec}” which has probes line \texttt{(CHECK\_LIB/CHECK\_HEADER)} in \texttt{configure.ac}, but \texttt{djbfft} does not.
In this case, \texttt{djbfft} is only built because \texttt{a52dec} is built, so if your system has \texttt{a52dec}, set \texttt{a52dec} to auto and see if that problem is solved by retrying the build with:
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ ./confgure --with-single-user -enable-a52dec=auto .
\end{lstlisting}
If you have already installed the \texttt{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.
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ 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
\label{par:setting_up_the_initial_clone}
add “\texttt{ -\,- depth 1}” before cin5 which is faster/smaller, but has no history.
-\begin{lstlisting}
+\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=none]
$ cd /<repo\_path>/
$ git clone "git://git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cinelerra" cin5
\paragraph{Update an existing repo}%
\label{par:update_an_existing_repo}
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ cd /<repo home>/cin5
$ git pull
\end{lstlisting}
\label{par:useful_git_commands}
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ git clone "git://git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cinelerra.git" cin5
$ git pull # pull remote changes to the local version
$ git status # shows changed files
\label{sub:how_to_build_from_a_previous_git_version}
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ cd /<path>/cin5_repo
$ git log
$ git checkout <version>
Next is displayed sample output:
-\begin{lstlisting}
+\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=none]
delete stray line in last checkin
commit 4a90ef3ae46465c0634f81916b79e279e4bd9961
For the “git checkout <version>, you would then keyin the line below for the following results:
-\begin{lstlisting}
+\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=none]
$ git checkout f87479bd556ea7db4afdd02297fc00977412b873
Note: checking out 'f87479bd556ea7db4afdd02297fc00977412b873'.
\end{lstlisting}
Later to get the repo back to current, use:
-\begin{lstlisting}
+\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=none]
$ git checkout master
\end{lstlisting}
To build from source with full debugging symbols, first build a full static (non\_debug) build as follows but instead /tmp should be substituted with a permanent disk path if you want to keep it.
-\begin{lstlisting}
+\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=none]
$ git clone ...
$ cp -a /path/cinelerra-5.1 /tmp/.
$ cd /tmp/cinelerra-5.1
Then, to run as a developer in the debugger:
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ CFLAGS="-O2 -ggdb" make -j8 rebuild_all
$ cd cinelerra
$ gdb ./ci
This is the recommended usage of Cinelerra-GG because all of the files will exist in a single directory.
To install the single user builds, download the designated tarball from the ./tars subdirectory and unpack as indicated below:
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ cd /path
$ mkdir cin
$ cd cin
%TODO point to real READ.pkgs
-\begin{lstlisting}
+\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=none]
Depending on the distro, use the instructions below and select the appropriate
setup operations to install, update or remove cinelerr-gg infinity. (03/04/2019)
To upgrade, refresh repo, then replace "install" with "update", or whatever.
