The goal is to have each of the dependencies upgraded to the latest version and included on the cd. I made a folder in my vectorcontrib directory for us to keep all the packages. If you want to help out, download and install/upgrade all the packages that are in there so that we will be using the same libraries for the development.

P.S. Now I'm crossing out all the ones that are in the BonusDisc folder.

The "libjack / jackit" required by LiVES is just Jack..... That is in the repo (0.103.0)

I've uploaded xproto, xextproto and videoproto, which are needed for building some X software and programs.

I find myself in a maze of twisty little passages trying to satisfy the dependencies to build libXv. One of those dependencies is libX11, which I'm not sure I want to mess with. The latest version of libXv is in the Slackware repos at http://packages.slackware.it/package.php?q=current/libXv-1.0.3-i486-1 and perhaps it would be the best solution to use this.

[Edit] I've confirmed that this package installs OK.

I suppose if it works it might be okay. Just convert it to a .tlz first.

I've been having trouble compiling Cinelerra. It just kept failing to compile with the latest ffmpeg latest mjpegtools etc... Then I realized that  I'm using a really old version (2005).

Ha, nice reference to Zork.

[Dweeberkitty]

I'm recalling the nasm that I built. Cinelerra doesn't compile with it. If you upgraded it, revert to the original with this package: http://vectorlinux.osuosl.org/veclinux-5.8/packages/dev/nasm-0.98.39-i586-4vl58.tlz

There is already a Cinelerra package in the repo...

I've now done sox-13.0.0 and uploaded it. I'm a bit stuck on vorbis-tools and ffmeg2theora.
With vorbis-tools I get many pthread errors during make, such as:

/usr/include/pthread.h:285: error: conflicting declaration 'typedef struct pthread_st*pthread_t'
/usr/include/bits/pthreadtypes.h:150: error: 'pthread_t' has a previous declaration as `typedef long unsigned int pthread_t'
/usr/include/pthread.h:285: error: declaration of `typedef struct pthread_st*pthread_t'

I get these errors even if I uninstall pth first.

With ffmpeg2theora, make fails with reported coding errors (undefined references).

PS As the latest version of vorbis-tools is already in the repos, but in i486 form, it's probably not worth spending much more time on an i586 version?

From the Avidemux WIKI

SpiderMonkey: Needed for scripting (only for versions up to 2.3).

Do we need spidermonkey since the current Avidemux is 2.4 Preview 2?  Also, if needed, we have two instances of spidermonkey already included on VL.  Within Firefox and Seamonkey.  Just link Avidemux to them at compile time.

I had similar problems with your pth package. When compiling Cinelerra. Strangly, as you pointed out, removing the package didn't solve the problems. I found that starting from a clean install of VL 5.8 Standard without the pth package removed the errors. I think that if the latest is in the repo, let's just use that.

Yup. That's what we'll do.

There is already a Cinelerra package in the repo...

Yeah, I know. I was trying to compile it with all the latest dependencies. However, to say the least, it hasn't been playing nice. I'll finally just used your package and added in the symlinks to the latest libraries.

I reorginized the VideoBonusDisc folder to make it easier to see what are the main programs and what are the deps. Cinelerra is done!

[Dweeberkitty]

Boy, we're really bookin'! We've got 40megs done so far! Just another 710 left...

[Dweeberkitty]

ManDVD is working and is good to go!

There is also an Avidemux package in the repo, which uses XULRunner instead of Spidermonkey:
