- -Cinelerra is best installed by downloading an RPM and running
- -rpm -U --force --nodeps cinelerra*.rpm
- -on a RedHat system.
- -On systems which don't support RPM look for a utility called -rpm2cpio. Download a Cinelerra RPM and from the / -directory run
- -rpm2cpio cinelerra*.rpm | cpio -i --make-directories
- -It should be noted that the compiler used in building Cinelerra -binaries is the free GNU compiler and although it can reorder -instructions for Pentium I and use some the of Pentium II branch -instructions it's 12 years behind most modern CPUs. You can try -different compilers and optimization flags by compiling the source.
- -Compiling the source is hard and there's no warranty if the source code -fails to compile, but the method for compiling starts by downloading -the source code and decompressing.
- -tar jxf cinelerra*.tar.bz2
- -Enter the cinelerra directory
- -cd cinelerra
- -and set some environment variables. For Pentium II use:
- -export CFLAGS='-O3 -march=i686 -fmessage-length=0 -funroll-all-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -I/usr/local/include'
- -For Pentium I and old AMD's use:
- -export CFLAGS='-O3 -fmessage-length=0 -funroll-all-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -I/usr/local/include'
- -Then run
- -make
- -The make procedure should run through all the directories and put -binaries in the i686 directories. When we originally supported -Alpha it was convenient to compile Alpha and i686 binaries -simultaneously, in different directories.
- -Once finished run
- -make install
- -to install the binaries. The output goes as follows:
-
-Binaries -> /usr/bin
-Plugins -> /usr/lib/cinelerra
- -The main binaries are the Cinelerra executable and several utilities -for reading MPEG transport streams.
- -Run Cinelerra by running
- -/usr/bin/cinelerra
