Hi,

is there a description of how to build up a kdenlive development environment?

What are the tools (IDE) you use? I am an active Java programmer but I learned
C++ too, so I would like to look at the kdenlive project.

It would be great if you put up a short page for those with interest in digging
a bit deeper in the project.

Greetings

For anyone interrested in having a look at the code, I highly recommend Kdevelop (especially if you're using KDE). It works very well, very fast (compared to IDE like Eclipse...), has lots of advanced code exploring features, and has direct svn support. .svn folders are detected automatically, and you can for instance directly compare a file to the head revision using the right click menu.

I've not used Kdevelop before. To use it, which cmakelists.txt file do I need to select, and do I use kdenlive or src as the root for the project?

I simply imported the project from the main cmakelist.txt, most likely directly in my "kdenlive" folder. And remember to choose "Custom makefile project" (or a similar name, can't remember exactly, it's the first choice in the dropdown list) after you've selecter the cmake file.

It then automatically create a kdenlive project file at the same place as the selected cmakelist.txt file.
