I am writing a short guide explaining how to compile MLT and Kdenlive staticly against FFmpeg svn. Thanks to Dave Wiki.
Here it is: http://www.kdenlive.org/contribution-manual/how-package-kdenlive-and-mlt-staticly I propose that we go deeper into testing static builds. When working, we could email package maintainers with precise instructions to compile MLT and Kdenlive staticly. What do you think? Dave: when fetching ffmpeg in MLT compilation, would it be possible to indicate a release? Kind regards, Jean-Michel
