Building VLMC

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://mailman.videolan.org/listinfo/

We have two VLMC mailing lists:

 * vlmc-announce: Official announcements (release, events, ...)
 * vlmc-devel: Developers discussions

Getting the code

You can fetch the current VLMC working tree using Git:

 git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlmc.git

Do the same for VLC (as described in http://wiki.videolan.org/GetTheSource):

 git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc.git

Compiling VLMC

Following is the cleanest way of compiling VLMC (commands for *nix OS)

1. Compile and install libVLC, libVLC is required by VLMC, for example:

 cd path_to_vlc_src
 ./bootstrap
 ./configure --your-options-here (see --help)
 make
 sudo make install

2. Compile VLMC:

 cd path_to_vlmc_src
 cmake .
 make

3. Run VLMC:

 ./vlmc

Now, start hacking ;-)
