Installing ffDiaporama Development Version in Fedora 23

Preliminary
As the maintainer for ffDiaporama is not maintaining the project, i decided to try out the development version which tends to be ahead of the stable version.

 Select the Linux button from ffDiaporama Landing site (http://ffdiaporama.tuxfamily.org/?page_id=3635) .

We shall see this page.



There is a script for Fedora, but i can't seem to get it to work. Hence, i downloaded the zip files found under the section "Other cases".

Download the three files, Resource package – Source files package,Application package – Source files package, Texturemate extension – Source files package.



Installing Qmake and other prequisites

 Go for Qt5


Installation prerequisites:
     sudo dnf groupinstall development-tools
     sudo dnf install gcc-c++
     sudo dnf install qt5-qtbase-devel qt5-qttools-devel qt5-qtsvg-devel qt5-qtbase qt5-qttools qt5-qtsvg qt5-qtimageformats qt5-qtmultimedia-devel qt5-qtmultimedia qt5-qtdeclarative-devel
     sudo dnf install ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel
     sudo dnf install SDL SDL-devel SDL_mixer-devel SDL_mixer
     sudo dnf install exiv2 exiv2-devel
      

     cd
     test -d bin || mkdir bin
     cd bin
     ln -s /usr/bin/qmake-qt5 qmake
     ln -s /usr/bin/lrelease-qt5 lrelease

NB: If previous "symbolic link" (to earlier Qt, e.g. Qt3 and Qt4, exists, please remove them (e.g. sudo rm qmake) and relink again (e.g. ln -s /usr/bin/qmake-qt5 qmake)


Editing Header files (cDeviceModelDef.h & -EncodeVideo.cpp)

NB: Prior to install "ffDiaporama.zip" if you r using ffmpeg 2.8.7 (or above, which i believe applicable to higher version)

#define RESAMPLE_MAX_CHANNELS SWR_CH_MAX
to
    #define RESAMPLE_MAX_CHANNELS 32

in cDeviceModelDef.h

Add in
   VideoStream->time_base                  = VideoFrameRate;  
 //ffmpeg 2.8.7 and above
right after the line
   VideoStream->codec->time_base           = VideoFrameRate;
in _EncodeVideo.cpp.

Fixing time on sysvinit and systemd

If you have a system that boot using different GNU/Linux init systems such as sysvinit (aka System 5) and systemd (aka System 500) in addition to proprietary Windows system, you may face incorrect time display on one of the aforementioned system. The difference in time display is dependent on the time difference of your location and the UTC time. Further complication may result from concept like Daylight Saving Time (DST). If the Bios is set to localtime, you may fix it in systemd boot system using 'timedatectl' command like: sudo timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 However, if you are using sysvinit and Bios is using localtime, you can set inform the system that local time is being used using 'hwclock' command like: sudo hwclock --localtime or to synchronize the hardware clock with system time and inform the system using: sudo hwclock --systohc --localtime If Bios is using UTC time, you may revert the change with 'timedatectl' like: sudo timedatectl set-lo
