How to build

Warning: building Shotcut should only be reserved to beta testers or contributors who know what they are doing.

Qt Creator

The fastest way to build and try Shotcut development version is through Qt Creator.

From command line

First, check dependencies are satisfied and various paths are correctly set to find different libraries and include files (Qt, MLT, frei0r and so forth).

Configure

In a new directory in which to make the build (separate from the source):

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/ /path/to/shotcut

We recommend using the Ninja generator by adding -GNinja to the above command line.

Build

cmake --build .

Install

If you do not install, Shotcut may fail when you run it because it cannot locate its QML files that it reads at run-time.

cmake --install .
