Installing Kdenlive for KDE4 from SVN

Install KDE4.

You need a recent mlt compilation with qimage for qt4 producer.

Checkout mlt from svn:

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gpl --qimage-libdir=/usr/lib/ --qimage-includedir=/usr/include/qt4 --disable-mmx --avformat-swscale
make clean
make
sudo make install

Checkout mlt++ from svn:

./configure --prefix=/usr
make clean
make
sudo make install

Checkout kdenlive from svn:

svn co https://kdenlive.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kdenlive/branches/KDE4

Then compile:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr CMakeLists.txt
make
sudo make install

This is it!

Installing Kdenlive for KDE4 from SVN - the easy way

The Kdenlive Builder Wizard can build the KDE4 (or KDE3) version of Kdenlive from current development sources. It is available from and is suited both for one-shot builds, or automated nightly builds (the later requires obtaining the sources to the Wizard, available from the page).

Possible problems

If your compilation ends with something like:

MakeFiles/kdenlive.dir/projectlist.o: In function `ProjectList::slotAddClip(DocClipBase*, bool)':

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status                                                                                                                                                 
make[2]: *** [src/cmake_bindir/kdenlive] Error 1

Then you have to install soprano and soprano devel package and rerun cmake or use wizard builder once more time.
