I heard about qwinff in a linux podcast and I'm happy I decided to try it. |

3 |
It's not in portage or layman, but installing it is so trivial I'll describe |
4 |
how I did it: |
5 |
|
6 |
Download the source file here: |
7 |
https://github.com/qwinff/qwinff/ |
8 |
by clicking the "Download ZIP" button on the right side of the web page. |
9 |
|
10 |
Unzip the file in /usr/local/src (or wherever you keep source code). |
11 |
Assuming you're doing this as root: |
12 |
|
13 |
#mkdir /usr/local/src (if it doesn't exist) |
14 |
|
15 |
#cd /usr/local/src |
16 |
|
17 |
#unzip <wherever-you-put-it>/qwinff-master.zip (the source file you downloaded) |
18 |
|
19 |
#cd qwinff-master/ |
20 |
|
21 |
#make PREFIX=/usr/local USE_LIBNOTIFY=1 (read the file "INSTALL.txt") |
22 |
|
23 |
#make PREFIX=/usr/local install |
24 |
|
25 |
If all goes well you should be able to run qwinff from a bash prompt, or add |
26 |
a custom menu item using the file "qwinff.desktop", which is installed by the |
27 |
qwinff package. |
28 |
|
29 |
If you see compile errors about undefined symbols or missing headers then you'll |
30 |
need to emerge the appropriate qt packages from portage. I got no compile errors |
31 |
because I already had all the qt packages installed for other purposes. |
32 |
|
33 |
(BTW this is not a kde app. You need only the qt packages to run it on gnome |
34 |
or any other DE (or on *no* DE if you're my evil twin Walter ;) |
35 |
|
36 |
Ask if you need help. IMO it's worth your trouble if you convert video files |
37 |
to other formats :) |
