Hello,
What is the way to go to compile Gem under Debian stable with pix_recording enabled? My guess is that I need to hack the Makefile, but where?
I gave the dist-upgrade a try on some other machine, after struggling quite a lot with the nVidia kernel module, I managed to have a pd-extended with Gem [Pix_record] enabled, unfortunately, looks like DV is broken.
That's why I'm wondering if compiling ad hoc is not better than dist-upgrading and getting back to fight with nVidia at every new kernel release.
the configure process checks whether the installed libquicktime-version is recent enough to support all functionalities needed by [pix_record].
this seems to be not the case in debian/stable (if you stick to the official repositories; the libquicktime-dev package in debian-multimedia.org seems to be fine)
what you have to do is simply:
- install recent enough packages
- run (in Gem/src) % ./configure % make
the crucial line in the configure-output is: "checking for lqt_open_write... yes"
hope this helps
