David,

As you are building mlt++ and said mlt is a prerequisite, please post your build script configure options for mlt.

When I try to regenerate the automake files I receive the following error:

================================================
*** automake (GNU automake) 1.11.1 found.
*** Creating acinclude.m4
grep: Makefile.am: No such file or directory
*** Creating aclocal.m4
aclocal: `configure.ac' or `configure.in' is required
make: *** [cvs] Error 1
There was an error trying to build mlt.
EXIT_CODE: 1

grep: Makefile.am: No such file or directory
================================================

When I forego trying to regenerate the files and directly run configure, the build fails at qimage for not finding the /usr/include/tqt headers. I have been trying to patch as I go but still no fortune.

Another failure is refusing to recognize the libquicktime libraries, which are installed.

I am able to build only when using the --disable-qimage  and --disable-sox options.

I get the feeling that part of the problem is we are using a very old version of mlt (0.2.5) that no longer recognizes newer versions of the various support libraries. I don't know the last mlt version to support Qt3 but I'm guessing at least the end of the 0.4 series. I am trying to learn the latest version we could use, but no such luck yet.

Thanks for any help.

Darrell
