Cannot install avidemux

[Schoolman]

Hi,

Trying to install avidemux on Salix xfce 14.1 I get this error:

sudo spi -i avidemux
Password:
The following packages will be installed:
avidemux
Fetching README...Done
Fetching avidemux.SlackBuild...Done

tar: /usr/src/slapt-src/multimedia/avidemux/avidemux_2.6.8.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
fakeroot -- sh avidemux.SlackBuild Failed

Thanks for any help.

EDIT- I had a look in the folder /usr/src/slapt-src/multimedia/avidemux and the version there is 2.5.6, not 2.6.8.

Update the slackbuild cache and try again:

Code: Select all

sudo spi -u

Thanks. Compiled ok, but when I tried launching it from the xfce menu I got:

Failed to execute command "avidemux3_qt"

Looking in /usr/bin it should be avidemux3_qt4.

That's probably a bug with the slackbuild then. There should be a file /usr/share/applications/avidemux_qt.desktop. Edit it with your favorite text editor (with sudo) and change the Exec line to the correct one. I'm guessing launching from a terminal with

Code: Select all

avidemux3_qt4

works.

Thanks again, it's fine now.

That's probably a bug with the slackbuild then.

The offending lines in the slackbuild script:

Code: Select all

if [ "x$WITH_QT4" = "xYES" ]; then
	cat avidemux2.desktop | sed -e 's/avidemux2$/avidemux/' -e 's/2_gtk/3_qt/' >\
		$PKG/usr/share/applications/avidemux_qt.desktop

I will notify Slackbuild of the problem.
