We are on the
same track. :) I looked through other versions
of mlt and discovered that some time ago a --force-qt3
configure option was added for the qimage module. I just now
finished downloading the most current version of mlt, 0.7.8,
and that configure option still exists. I presume then that
qt3 remains supported.
Seems we could use the latest version, after we massage the
sources for tqt. I think we need only to massage the qimage
module and some admin files and not the entire package.
I saw a note in one of the change logs that mlt was fixed to
work with sox 14, which also I am having no luck building
against.
I had some luck with getting the configure process to
recognize libquicktime. The version we are using is so old
that the process was testing against a bin file that no
longer exists in the libquicktime package. I confirmed that
with the latest 0.7.8.
In all, I think we can convert to the latest version, but
we'll need a script to convert to tqt as necessary. We
probably can post the script to other wiki.
I'm curious, however. What packages do we support in Trinity
that uses mlt? We do not support kdenlive.
Tim,
Do you recall what work went into the mlt package? Any tqt work? I don't
see any of that being done. Probably compiles fine against Qt3 but won't
compile against TQt3. We are using a very old version, 0.2.5. The latest
version, 0.7.8, still supports Qt3. Only the qimage module needs TQt
massaging, which I succesfuly performed today with the old version we are
using.
I'm thinking we can update to the latest version. I just want to know
whether there is anything special I need to know before trying that.
Thanks.
