openshot-qt build error

[Gregory Kramida]

Bug first reported here:
https://github.com/OpenShot/openshot-qt/issues/1

Encountered errors on attempting to build openshot-qt on various linux distros.

 $ /usr/bin/python3 setup.py install
       setup:INFO Execution path: /opt/local/openshot/openshot-qt/setup.py

package init file 'src/windows/ui/__init__.py' not found (or not a regular file)
running build_scripts
error: file '/opt/local/openshot/openshot-qt/bin/openshot' does not exist

It seems like the bug is twofold: (1) missing __init__.py files to initialize source folders as packages and (2) failure to generate the openshot script inside the "bin" folder.

This blocks application of existing patches, such as https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot/+bug/499739.

Hi,

Not sure to all understand.

You said that you are using the openshot-qt version but at the end it is
the 1.4.4. Or the 1.4.4 is not the Qt version. The Qt version is the 2.0.
BTW the 1.4.4 is using Python 2.7.x
the 2.0 version is using Python 3.X

Another point : melt 0.9.2 and then MLT is just for the serie 1.4.x then
1.4.4
Libopenshot is for the 2.0 version

If you are using the 2.0, you are not able to active the setup file. It is
not necessary at this step of developpement. Just go to the folder src in
the folder openshot-qt and type
python launch.py

if python 3 is your default version. Either, type
python3 launch.py
if python 3 is not your default version.

Good luck

Ok, this is the qt version, so it's 2.0 version, sorry I wasn't clear on this.
I run "sudo python setup.py install" as it says in the README so those were the errors it produced.
Running "python3 launch.py" from src gives this error:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Magick::ErrorCoder'
  what(): Magick: WriteBlob Failed `/home/algomorph/.openshot_qt/cache/circle_in_to_out.png' @ error/png.c/MagickPNGErrorHandler/1645
Aborted (core dumped)

I'm not really worried so much about running the 2.0 version successfully, I'm just interested in applying this patch to the 1.4.X versions:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot/+bug/499739

How do I do that?

I've posted an answer on github.
