Hello, first: don't expect this post to proclaim that I successfully ported Cinelerra CV to run natively on FreeBSD. I did not, unfortunately. What I succeeded in is taking the version for Fedora Core 4 and get it to run on the FreeBSD Linuxolator of 7.0-RELEASE. It wasn't that hard, most of the work was finding RPMs for the libraries Cinelerra depends on (OpenEXR etc.). Some of the dependencies could be installed via the FreeBSD ports system, for everything not there which is part of Core, I hacked some ports of my own. The packages in the Extras repository were a bit more work; I had to track them down on rpmsearch and install manually, but not too hard. In fact, it was always the same steps, so I wrote a script the automates the download and install. It might eat your cat (or at least the movie you made of your cat and which you are now editing in Cinelerra), but it works for me. I have to stick with this solution for the time being, because Cinelerra (or is that XCB?) bug 406 bites me hard.
I put the custom ports and the install script up on my webspace in a tar.bz2. You can find more information in the INSTALL file contained therein. All the usual disclaimers apply. And note that the package of CinelerraCV is quite dated, from October 2006. All that said, you can find the tarball here: http://braml.org/CinelerraCVOnFreeBSD-20080330.tar.bz2 Andreas, aka pseudoruprecht
