Kdenlive Builder Wizard For Linux

Kdenlive Builder Wizard is a Kommander script created to help you get the development (SVN) version of kdenlive, a non-linear video editor for KDE, and build it.

A lot is happening with Kdenlive, but stable releases can be far in between - therefore the motivation for building from the development sources.

Building kdenlive from the development versions can be a bit of a hassle, as it also depends on development versions of ffmpeg, mlt and mlt++. This wizard removes a lot of the hassle.

Simply answer a few questions, click a few buttons, press "Go", and it will retrieve or update your sources, configure, compile, and install them.

If everything goes well, you will soon have a working version of the kdenlive development version. If it fails, you will get access to a full log of the commands run, and can try to fix the problem (missing libs, most likely, but sometimes the developers also check stuff into svn that just don't compile), before restarting the wizard.

This has only been tested on Kubuntu 7.10, using Kommander 1.2.2. Please send bugreports to my email (included in the about box, make sure to include the log from the wizard). Feel free to send a success report too.
