Does building mt++ require first building mt? I want to help but I am unable to build mt. Looks like mlt can't find the tqt header files....
Yes you need mlt build because mlt++ calls mlt-config, but this problem is an obvious "Chicken or the egg issue" ... and the answer is "egg".
The build for the subdir "test" in mlt++ needs libmlt++ already installed on the system. Think about it, your are building mlt++, that lib isn't on your system until you finish the package and install.
This looks like one of those:
(1) "Let's add the 'test' dir to the source so people will have it as a reference..."
deals and then in some automagic/autoconf/whatever run later, the Makefile got generated saying:
(2) "Hey, I found a subdir called 'test', let's add a directive to build 'test'"
and since they were building it on a system where mlt++ was already installed,
(3)the automagic files found the libmlt++ lib and included it in the library flags to build 'test'.
This looks like exactly what happened to me, but I need someone to confirm this because "I don't know...." :)
Give this a try on mlt (i686 only):
./configure \ --prefix=${TDEDIR} \ --enable-gpl \ --disable-sox \ --disable-qimage
