+ +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
