Compiles and Runs from Source on Ubuntu 22.04

[TahomaSoft]

Hi all,

Just discovered Olive, and got it to compile and run on Ubuntu 22 with only minor deviations from the published instructions for Ubuntu 20.

Cool, mind sharing what needs to be done differently?

From memory (I didn't write down the steps for this first go, but can when I do it again on another machine):
A few of the dependencies (OpenColor or OpenEXR) didn't install with the exact command given, but a little apt-cache search provided me with the similar names for the packages I needed to install. I think there was also a build failure for a dependency that I was able to solve the same way.

I also made the mistake of adding OpenColor v1 before trying to compile Olive (which was NOT in the Olive manual); I had to remove it and compile and install OpenColor v2 as directed.

BTW, this is much easier to compile than DigiKam, for example. I was very pleasantly surprised how well the compile went. I can also try on a recent (35, but not 36, yet) version of Fedora.

---Edit---
Or, more topically, the FOSS video editor Cinelerra or the non-free DaVinci Resolve. Never been able to get either of them to compile and/or run on Linux.

And I was able to get it to lightly edit and render a 5K video (5120 × 2880).

or you could go with the official packaging: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/olive-editor

some use shotcut, it is also a great video editor

Hey, I would also be interested in knowing how to compile on Ubuntu 22, I use Linux Mint 21.1 which is based on it.

I would love to contribute, at least as a tester on my platform, and the appImage sometines does not provide enough information to trace the problem.

I remember compiling on Ubuntu 18 was very easy but on 22 it still gives me problems finding Imath, OpenTimeIO and GoogleCrashpad.

Details

-- Could NOT find Imath (missing: Imath_DIR)
-- Found CONFIG for OpenEXR 2 (OPENEXR_VERSION=2.5.7)
-- Could NOT find OpenTimelineIO (missing: OTIO_LIBRARIES OTIO_INCLUDE_DIRS OTIO_DEPS_INCLUDE_DIR)
OpenTimelineIO interchange will be disabled.
-- Could NOT find GoogleCrashpad (missing: CRASHPAD_CLIENT_LIB CRASHPAD_COMMON_LIB CRASHPAD_UTIL_LIB CRASHPAD_BASE_LIB BREAKPAD_BIN_DIR CRASHPAD_BUILD_INCLUDE_DIR CRASHPAD_CLIENT_INCLUDE_DIR CRASHPAD_BASE_INCLUDE_DIR CRASHPAD_COMPAT_LIB)
Automatic crash reporting will be disabled.
