Hi, Gentoo user looking for distro agnostic build

Introductions

Hi guys,

Im on Gentoo and Im looking for non-distro specific build instructions or just a distro agnostic build of Cinelerra GG Infinity.

Thx guys

The current build procedures as documented in section 2.1 of the manual at:

https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/CinelerraGG_manual.pdf

are used to create about 32 binary files on 5 different distro-types so they are somewhat generic + there is a specific bsd build script.

However, in the past there have been a couple of people who have built Cinelerra for Gentoo and the above mentioned scripts need adjustment to account for the uniqueness of Gentoo systems. My suggestion is to follow the manual instructions and email the log with the build errors that is at /{build_path|/cinelerra5/cinelerra-5.1/log to phylsmith2017@gmail.com.

With any luck other users who compile for Gentoo will see this email and be of better assistance or see the following (also in the pdf manual) which I do not currently know if is still available: #GENTOO � courtesy Dominque Michel

There is an ebuild package at this time as of 01/03/2019 at:

https://svnweb.tuxfamily.org/listing.php?repname=proaudio%2Fproaudio&path=

%2Ftrunk%2Foverlays%2Fproaudio%2Fmedia-video%2Fcinelerra

Hi

No I did not, I didnt try the ebuild because Im experimenting with Olive.

So you got it running? How is the performance?

The main problem with all open source video editors in Linux that I tried is the abysmal performance, especially with playing the edited video in preview/editor mode + (no hardware acceleration not even multithread support). Same for the rendering. There is a multithread render scrypt for Blender which works very well, but editing is a mess.

This problem got kinda solved with Olive, I didnt do any big projects with it yet so dont take my word for it.

Since I couldnt find out how it is with Cinelerra GG I figured its not worth my time even trying to look further into it (no offense). Maybe Ill install it on an Ubuntu machine just to try it out. I didnt have the time yet…

Olive is already very well suited for most video editing tasks and due to its contemporary usability it will occupy a prominent position in this area as open source software.
