Vapoursynth on LMDE

[Selur]

Argh, vsrepo also does only work for Windows.
So one still would have to compile all the Vapoursynth packages manually. :/

Sorry, but that basically means rewriting the build-plugins for LMDE, at least I don't have the time for that.

Here are the steps to:
a. install Hybrid
b. install Vapoursynth

Install Hybrid:

• opened a terminal
  
• make sure the system iss up-to-date using:
  
  sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove && sudo apt -y autoclean && sudo -y autopurge
• went to https://www.selur.de/downloads and copied the downloadlink to 'Hybrid Linux64bit (with base tools and most dependencies)'
  
• downloaded the file into my home folder:
  
  wget https://www.selur.de/sites/default/files/hybrid_downloads/Hybrid_20220320_Linux.7z
  (this download is just for the current version)
  
• I extracted the download into my home folder:
  
  7z x Hybrid_20220320_Linux.7z
• create a folder for the configs
  
  mkdir ~.hybrid
• created a misc.ini in that folder using:
  
  nano ~/.hybrid/misc.ini
  with the follwing content:
  
  [General]
ignoreTools=DivX265;neroAacEnc
• download the latest tsMuxeR from https://github.com/justdan96/tsMuxer/act...2852491399
  and extracting the tsMuxeR file into the ~/hybrid-folder and then call 'chmod +x ~/hybrid/tsMuxeR'.
  now I Hybrid should successfully start when using:
  
  ~/hybrid/Hybrid
• remove the download by calling:
  
  rm Hybrid_20220320_Linux.7z

If Hybrid itself works, install Python 3.10 since LMDE 5 comes with Python 3.9.2, but Vapoursynth R59 only support Python 3.8 and Python 3.10:

• install needed dependencies for building Python 3.10 using:
  
  sudo apt install build-essential zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libgdbm-dev libnss3-dev libssl-dev libreadline-dev libffi-dev libsqlite3-dev wget libbz2-dev
• download latest Pythong 3.10.6:
  
  wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.10.6/Python-3.10.6.tgz
• extract the download using:
  
  tar -xf Python-3.10.6.tgz
• change into the Python folder:
  
  cd Python-3.10.6
• configure Python for compilation
  
  ./configure --enable-optimizations --enable-shared CFLAGS=-fPIC CXXFLAGS=-fPIC
  (maybe instead of 'CFLAGS=-fPIC CXXFLAGS=-fPIC' '--enable-pic' also works)
  
• compile Python using:
  
  make -j 16
  (replace 16 with the number or physical cpu cores your system has)
  
• install python 3.10
  
  sudo make install
• making sure calling python3 will call the new 3.10 version.
  
  python3 --version
• making sure that python also points to python3 by installing 'python-is-python3'
  
  sudo apt-get install python-is-python3
  and caling:
  
  sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/local/bin/python3 1
• removing the download and the source code using:
  
  cd
sudo rm -rf Python-3.10.6*
• extending LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
  and add
  
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
  to ~/.profile (nano ~/.profile)
  and
  
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
  to ~.bashrc (nano ~/.bashrc)
  
• installing pip using:
  
  sudo apt install python3-pip
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/pip /usr/local/bin/pip

Now that you have Python 3.10 we need to compile and install Vapoursynth by:

• downloading, building and installing zimg
  
  git clone https://github.com/sekrit-twc/zimg
cd zimg
git checkout $(git tag | sort -V | tail -1)
autoreconf -if
./configure
make -j 16
sudo make install-strip
cd ..
rm -rf zimg
• downloading, building and installing Vapoursynth:
  
  git clone https://github.com/vapoursynth/vapoursynth.git --depth=1
cd vapoursynth
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/
make -j16
sudo make install-strip
  if everything worked so far:
  
  vspipe --version
  should output:
  
  vspipe --version

• cleaning:
  
  rm -rf vapoursynth

=> Sorry, but until someone spends time on porting the hybrid-vapoursynth-addons or at least the build-plugins script to LMDE, one would have to compile all the scripts by hand.
