Building VLMC from source
This wiki page has information on building VideoLAN Movie Creator, VLMC from source. VLMC (VideoLAN Movie Creator) is a free video editing software, offering features to realize semi-professional quality movies, but with the aim to stays simple and user-friendly.
Resources
VLMC requires Qt(4.5+), C++ compiler and libVLC.
To install Qt, refer: http://www.qtsoftware.com/downloads
To install libVLC, you are required to compile VLC
To get the current source of VLC player, refer: http://wiki.videolan.org/GetTheSource
For information on using Git, refer: http://wiki.videolan.org/Git
For Information on generic compilation of VLC, refer: http://wiki.videolan.org/Compile_VLC
In case you are interested in mailing list, goto:
http://vlmc.org/mailman/listinfo
We have two VLMC mailing lists:
* vlmc-announce: Official announcements (release, events, ...) * vlmc-devel: Developers discussions
Getting the source
You can fetch the current working tree using Git:
git clone git://github.com/VLMC/vlmc.git
Compiling VLMC
Following is the cleanest way of compiling VLMC (commands for *nix OS)
1. Download source code of VLC and VLMC as described in http://wiki.videolan.org/GetTheSource
git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc.git
2. Compile and install libVLC, libVLC is required by VLMC, for example:
cd path_to_vlc_src ./configure make sudo make install
3. Compile VLMC:
cd path_to_vlmc_src cmake . make
Now, to run VLMC:
./vlmc
Now, start hacking ;-)
Linking VLMC to libVLC
Have you built VLC in some directory like: ~/vlc/build
i.e you have compiled VLC using ./configure --prefix=SOME_PATH, For example:
./configure --prefix=/home/user/vlc/build
1. Then, you need to link libVLC and add the include path to VLMC.
To do that, first open vlmc.pro file and add/edit LIB PATH as:
LIBS = -L/path_to_vlc_build/lib \ -lvlc
For example:
LIBS = -L/home/user/vlc/build/lib -lvlc
2. Then, you need to edit INCLUDEPATH in vlmc.pro:
path_to_vlc_src_include
For example:
INCLUDEPATH += src/LibVLCpp \ src/gui \ src/tools \ src \ /home/user/vlc/build/include
3. Now you need to add the path of libVLC to ld.so.conf so that linker knows the path of libVLC
sudo vim /etc/ld.so.conf
Now, add path to libVLC in it:
/home/user/vlc/build/lib
Now, update linker cache:
sudo ldconfig
If every thing's goes fine compile VLMC as describe in the "Compile" section of this page. This method is not advised as it may cause unnecessary problems.
