These are the listed dependencies before compilation and setup:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openshot.developers/libopenshot-daily sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install \ cmake \ pkg-config \ libopenshot-audio-dev \ libx11-dev \ libfreetype6-dev \ libasound2-dev \ libavcodec-dev \ libavformat-dev \ libavutil-dev \ libswresample-dev \ libswscale-dev \ libpostproc-dev \ libfdk-aac-dev \ libjsoncpp-dev \ libzmq3-dev \ qtbase5-dev \ libqt5svg5-dev \ libbabl-dev \ libopencv-dev \ libprotobuf-dev \ protobuf-compiler \ python3-dev \ swig \ libmagick++-dev
I installed those, and it came right up without having to compile the source.
There's a broken dependency on the install. I don't know which was missing but if people feel like it they can figure it out.
