\section{How to Build Cinelerra-GG from Developer's Git Repository}%
\label{sec:How_to_build}
These are generic build instructions for building Cinelerra-GG Infinity.
-Known to work on Ubuntu, Mint, Suse/Leap, Fedora, Debian, Centos, Arch, and Slackware.
-It has not been tested on every single possible distro yet so you might expect to have to make some minor changes.
-Patches have been created to build on FreeBSD through the work of another programmer and a Gentoo version is being maintained elsewhere by another programmer.
+Known to work on Ubuntu, Mint, OpenSuse, Fedora, Debian, Centos, Arch, Slackware, and Gentoo.
+It has not been tested on every single possible distro yet so you might expect to have to make some minor changes.
+Also works on a somewhat limited basis on FreeBSD and Windows 10 with the bsd.patch for FreeBSD
+and the cygwin.patch for Windows 10.
Alternatively, there are some pre-built dynamic or static binaries which are updated on a fairly regular basis (as long as code changes have been made) available at the link below.

There are 2 kinds of builds, the default system-build and a single-user build.
A system build has results which are installed to the system.
The single user build allows for running completely out of a local user directory so it doesn't affect the system.
We recommend the single-user version when possible.
-It makes it very easy to install a new version without having to delete the older version in case you want it for backup - once you are happy with the new version, all you have to do is delete the entire old directory path.
-Also, if you install a new Operating System version and if you have Cinelerra on separate disk space that is preserved, you won't have to reinstall Cinelerra.
-In addition for purposes of having the ability to interrupt or to see any possible error messages, if you start the application from a terminal window command line you will have more control to catch problems.
-However, the system builds can be useful in a university lab setting where there are possibly multiple users, or multiple versions.

\subsection{Notable Options and Caveats}%
\label{sub:notable_options_and_caveats}
-These procedures and the Cinelerra-GG Infinity software have all been run as “\textbf{root}” on various home laptops and desktops. This provides the best chance to ensure all works correctly and also allows for handling errors, other problems and potential crashes with the most success. Included in this section are some of the build variations easily available for normal builds.

This provides the best chance to ensure all works correctly and also allows for handling errors, other problems and potential crashes with the most success. Included in this section are some of the build variations easily available for normal builds.
To see the full list of features use:
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ ./configure -help
\end{lstlisting}
The default build is a system build which uses:
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ ./configure -without-single-user
\end{lstlisting}
-In the single-user build, the target directory is always “cin”.
+In the single-user build, the target directory is always \texttt{cin}.
Because this is also the developer build, constant names are used throughout.
However, you can rename files after the install is complete.
If your operating system has issues with the default install to \texttt{/usr/local}, you might have to change the location to \texttt{/usr} for a system build. Then you will have to use:
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
\end{lstlisting}
-If you wish to change the default directory for a system build you will have to add the destination directory path on the “\texttt{make install}” line. For example:
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+If you wish to change the default directory for a system build you will have to add the destination directory path on the \texttt{make install} line. For example:
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ make install DESTDIR=<your selected target directory path>
\end{lstlisting}
-The application name can be set during installation, but defaults to cin so that the GG/Infinity build can coexist with other Cinelerra builds if necessary. To override the default cin name, use:
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+The application name can be set during installation, but defaults to \texttt{cin} so that the GG/Infinity build can coexist with other Cinelerra builds if necessary. To override the default \texttt{cin} name, use:

$ ./configure --with-exec-name=cinelerra
\end{lstlisting}
The home configuration directory can also be set, but default location is \texttt{\$HOME/.bcast5}.
For example:
-\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash]
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
$ ./configure -with-config-dir=/myusername/.bcast5
\end{lstlisting}
-NOTE: when you specify parameters to the configure program, it will create a make file as a consequence.
-Since in a make file, the \$ is a special character, it must be escaped so in order to represent a \$ as part of an input parameter, it has to be stuttered.

\subsection{Notes about Building from Git in your Customized Environment}%
\label{sub:notes_about_building_from_git_in_your_customized_environment}
-Getting a build to work in a custom environment is not easy. If you have already installed libraries which are normally in the thirdparty build, getting them to be recognized means you have to install the "devel" version so the header files which match the library interfaces exist. Below is the list of thirdparty builds, but this list may have changed over time.

+The reason that Cin Infinity traditionally uses thirdparty builds (bundled builds) is because there are a lot of different distros with varying levels of ffmpeg and other needed thirdparty libraries.
However, some users prefer using their current system baseline without another/different copy of ffmpeg.
With different levels of the user’s libraries, uncertainty, potential instability, and unknown issues may come up while running Cinelerra and this will make it, for all practical purposes, impossible to diagnose and debug problems or crashes.
There may be no help in these cases. You are encouraged to report any errors which potentially originate from Cin Infinity, but if the data indicates alternate library sources, please report the problems to the appropriate maintainers.
For example, unless special options were set up by you, the LV2 audio plugins will not be available.
Nor will the codec libzmpeg, the file codec ac3, or DVD creation.
The old school file classes will all work, but some of the formats that come with ffmpeg may not because of the way that ffmpeg was installed on your operating system.
-That is because the Cinelerra ffmpeg is a known static build and is usually the latest stable/released version.
-In the current case of Leap 15, libx264 and libx265 are not built in and this can be debilitating; you can always run “ffmpeg -formats” and “ffmpeg -codecs” to see what is available on your system.

\section{Download Already Built Cinelerra-GG}%
\label{sec:download_already_built_cinelerra_gg}
If you prefer to not have to take the time to build Cinelerra-GG Infinity yourself, there are pre-built dynamic or static binaries for various versions of Ubuntu, Mint, Suse, Fedora, Debian, Centos, Arch, and Slackware linux as well as Gentoo and FreeBSD.
+A Windows 10 version installation is described in \ref{sec:ms_windows10}.
There are also 32-bit i686 Ubuntu, Debian, and Slackware versions available.
These are updated on a fairly regular basis as long as significant code changes have been made.
They are in subdirectories of:

-The “\textbf{tars}” directory contains single-user static builds for different distros.
-This is the recommended usage of Cinelerra-GG because all of the files will exist in a single directory.
-To install the single user builds, download the designated tarball from the ./tars subdirectory and unpack as indicated below:

+\section{Windows 10 with Cygwin for Cinelerra Limited}%
+\label{sec:ms_windows10}
+
+To run Cinelerra on a Windows 10 computer, you will need to have Cygwin installed on your system,
+along with the Cinelerra static tar and a patched library: libxbc. This setup has been tested
+with Windows 10, version 1909, on an HP EliteBook 820 at 2.3 GHz.
+
+This limited version provides \textit{core} functionality at this time with the standard Windows FFmpeg
+executable, meaning that specific modifications in FFmpeg needed for Cinelerra are not available.
+Limited capabilities include only a few render output formats available - for example \textit{mov}, \textit{qt}
+as \textit{mjpeg}, and \textit{mpeg} for videos and \textit{avi} and \textit{qt} as \textit{s16le}
+for audio, but not \textit{mkv} or \textit{mp4}.
+This is due to the fact that several codec and utility libraries are not currently compiled to
+work with Windows.
+
+\underline{Installing Cygwin:}
+
+Cygwin is an environment that runs natively on Windows which allows Unix programs to be compiled
+and run on Windows. With cygwin installed on your Windows 10 computer, you will be able to run
+Cinelerra. Before installing cygwin, you need to be warned that the Avast anti-virus software
+kills files necessary for cygwin installation and execution, so you will have to remove it and
+use alternative anti-virus software (the standard default already included with Windows 10
+is Defender). Below are the steps for installation:
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item Download cygwin for your 64-bit computer at: {\small \url{https://www.cygwin.com/}}
+ \item Generally just take the defaults as they show up, but the next steps show what comes up.
+ \item When a warning window pops up, click \textit{Yes}.
+ \item Click \textit{Next}.
+ \item Choose \textit{Install from Internet} option and then click \textit{Next}.
+ \item Choose your desired directory by clicking on Browse button. Choose \textit{All Users (Recommended)} and then click \textit{Next}.
+ \item Choose the local package directory where you would like your installation files to be placed. Click \textit{Next}.
+ \item Choose \textit{Direct Connection} if you are using Internet with plug and play device. Click \textit{Next}.
+ \item Choose any download site preferably "cygwin.mirror.constant.com" and then click \textit{Next}.
+ \item For list of things to install, leave all set to \textit{Default} except these to \textit{Install} instead:
+
+\begin{tabular}{ll}
+ base& devel\\
+ gnome& graphics\\
+ system& video\\
+ X11 \\
+\end{tabular}
+
+ This install takes a long time; approximately 2 hours on an EliteBook and requires approximately 20GB storage.
+ \item Finally you will want to have the icons on your desktop (already default) and then click \textit{Finish}.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+Then to install the Cinelerra tar files, you will need to start a cygwin console terminal from the startup menu as shown here:
+ \texttt{Start $\rightarrow$ Cygwin $\rightarrow$ Cygwin64} Terminal
+
+\underline{Installing Cinelerra:}
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item Download the tar file at:\\
+ {\small \url{https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/testing/libxcb-bld.tar.bz2}}
+ \item Install libxbc from the tar file -- installs into \texttt{/usr/local} and requires approximately 21MB storage.
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
+ $ tar -C /usr/local -xJf /path/libxcb-bld.tar.bz2
+\end{lstlisting}
+The libxcb path repairs an error (XIOError), which stops Cinelerra.
+ \item Download the tar file at:\\
+ {\small \url{https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/testing/cygcin-bld.tar.bz2}}
+ \item Install cygcin from the tar file - this installs into home directory. Note this is cygcin NOT cygwin. You must change the \texttt{path} below to the name of the path where you downloaded the tar file.
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
+ $ cd
+ $ tar -xJf /path/cygcin-bld.tar.bz2
+\end{lstlisting}
+\end{enumerate}
+This creates \texttt{\~{}/cygcin} , a user build installation of Cinelerra and requires approximately 400MB storage.
+
+\underline{Running Cinelerra:}
+
+You will need to start a cygwin desktop from the startup menu:
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item \texttt{Start$\rightarrow$ Cygwin-X $\rightarrow$ Openbox}
+
+You should start a console controlling terminal so that you can see program logging.
+ \item \texttt{Start$\rightarrow$ Cygwin $\rightarrow$ Cygwin64} Terminal
+
+This opens a separate window that can survive a cygwin hang and bugs. Without these logs, it is much more difficult to use.
+
+ \item Type into that console controlling window, the following:
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
+ $ export DISPLAY=:0.0
+\end{lstlisting}
+ \item Change directories to where Cinelerra is installed:
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
+ $ cd /path/cygcin (NOT cygwin)
+\end{lstlisting}
+ \item Finally keyin:
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
+ $ ./cin
+\end{lstlisting}
+which starts up your 4 Cinelerra windows.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+The most noticeable difference from the Linux versions is that Cinelerra seems to run
+very slowly on Windows 10. You must be very tolerant and patient to see this work.
+It can however exhibit astonishing speed when encoding. Cinelerra has to be downgraded significantly due to lack of supported interfaces, codecs (for example h264/h265), and utilities.
+The only graphics driver is X11 and the only sound driver is pulseaudio. Almost all configurable
+omissions are applied to this build.
+
+\underline{Cinelerra build on cygwin from source code:}
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item Download and install ffmpeg into /usr/local :
+
+ download ffmpeg (currently 4.2.2)
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
+ $ cd /tmp
+ $ tar -xJf /path/ffmpeg-4.2.2.tar.bz2
+ $ cd ffmpeg-4.2.2
+ $ ./configure
+ $ make -j
+ $ make install
+\end{lstlisting}
+ \item Download and install a patched libxcb:
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
+ $ cd /tmp
+ $ rm -rf libxcb-1.13/
+ $ tar -xf /path/libxcb-1.13.tar.bz2
+ $ cd libxcb-1.13/
+ $ patch -p1 < /path/cinelerra-5.1/thirdparty/src/libxcb.patch1
+ patching file configure.ac
+ patching file src/xcb_in.c
+ $ ./autogen.sh
+ $ ./configure
+ $ make -j
+ $ make install
+\end{lstlisting}
+ \item Download cinelerra-gg:
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
+ $ cd /build_path/
+ $ git clone "git://git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cinelerra.git"
+ $ cd cinelerra-gg/cinelerra-5.1
+\end{lstlisting}
+ \item Apply cygwin patch:
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
+ $ patch -p2 < blds/cygwin.patch
+\end{lstlisting}
+ \item Run the build with:
+\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,numbers=none]
+ $ ./blds/cygwin.bld
+\end{lstlisting}
+\end{enumerate}
+
+This produces a directory: $/build\_path$/cinelerra-gg$/cinelerra$-5.1/bin \newline
+which is used to create the cygcin archive.
+
+Currently, the targets are not stripped and can be run from gdb.
+There is only very limited signal handler dmp file support.
+Running gdb from inside a desktop resident console (not a cygwin64 window) will hang cygwin (and cin) when it hits a breakpoint. You must run from an external console window to avoid this issue.
+

\section{Cinx and a “Bit” of Confusion}%
\label{sec:cinx_and_a_bit_of_confusion}
This build will not be able to output 8-bit depth which means you have to retain the Cin version also.
Whatever build ffmpeg is linked to will determine what bit depth it can output.
This is why there have to be separate builds.
-If you install both packages, Cin and CinX, you may get “file conflicts of same file name” --- just continue.
+If you install both packages, Cin and CinX, you may get \textit{file conflicts of same file name} --- just continue.
Keep in mind that the regular 8-bit version works on 8-bit bytes --- the standard word size for computers, but the 10-bit version has to use 2 words to contain all 10 bits so you can expect rendering to be as much as twice as slow.
There is also a 12-bit version for consideration but currently the results are simply the same as 10-bit with padding to make 12-bit so it is of no value.
