Movie capture entry missing...

Post #1by xoxo_davide » 17.07.2007, 09:41

Celestia works perfectly.. but is there a reason i don't have the ability (neither the menu entry) to capture movies ???
Maybe built with some package missing?
Thank you in advance.
Davide.

Movie capture is supported by the KDE and Gnome frontends. You need to have libtheora installed and you must use the --with-theora configure switch.

As you can see here Christophe, I read this forum from bottom to top, and you read it from top to bottom...

Anyway, same answer.

Thank you both for the answer.
I have libtheora installed, now tried with the --with-theora flag... it configures and compiles fine, but still menu entry missing, and function key doesn't work (of course).
Still can't export movies.
What the hell do i miss... ?
Any help appreciated.

Check the file config.log and search "theora" in it.

Here mine :

Code: Select all

configure:38918: checking for theora
configure:38922: result: yes
configure:38926: checking THEORA_CFLAGS
configure:38929: result: 
configure:38932: checking THEORA_LIBS
configure:38935: result: -ltheora -logg

This sort of thing happens if someone posts the SAME stuff at several places in the forum!

Sorry for the double post... posted in users forum, then thought it was a bug (misjudgment) and reposted. Yeah, bad style.

You're right :
Change log 1.5.0 wrote:* KDE and GTK: added ogg/theora video capture


You can build it from cvs :
1) Open a terminal
2) Create an empty directory
3) type :

Code: Select all

 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@celestia.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/celestia co -P celestia

4) Retrieve ./configure script

Code: Select all

make -f Makefile.cvs

5) Configure with theora.
