I want to install SimpleScreenRecorder (SSR) from git as recommended by the developer. The binary version crashes while the git version fixes my crash problem. Unfortunately, to build the git version I have to resort to a work-around — and now I’ve run into side effects from that.<\/p>\n
Main page – SimpleScreenRecorder – Maarten Baert’s website<\/p>\n
The instructions are found here: https:\/\/github.com\/MaartenBaert\/ssr<\/p>\n
The dev says, “I don’t know whether this is the right way to do it, but it works for me.”<\/p>\n
It worked for me too, but it is not nice in situations such as changing video drivers (which I’m doing now).<\/p>\n
Therefore, I decided to come ask the experts here for a better solution. I’m hoping someone knows the right way to resolve this.<\/p>\n
(BTW, I asked a similar but different question and answered it myself here: http:\/\/askubuntu.com\/a\/347620\/36661) I’m running Kubuntu 12.04 with the lts-raring hardware enablement stack.<\/p>\n
The problem is that the 64-bit portion of the build works, but the 32-bit portion fails due to some libraries missing. The proposed workaround involves manually creating symlinks to make up for the “missing” libraries. Here are my build\/install steps including the workaround symlink creation:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config qt4-qmake libqt4-dev libavformat-dev libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev libswscale-dev libasound2-dev libpulse-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libx11-dev libxext-dev libxfixes-dev g++-multilib ia32-libs\ncd \/workspaces\/ (or any path you choose - see note below)\ngit clone https:\/\/github.com\/MaartenBaert\/ssr.git (in my case the project path is \/workspaces\/ssr\/)\nsudo mkdir \/usr\/lib32\/fglrx\/\ncd \/usr\/lib\/i386-linux-gnu\/\nsudo ln -s libGL.so.1 \/usr\/lib32\/fglrx\/libGL.so # only for proprietary AMD drivers!\n# SKIP: sudo ln -s fglrx\/libGL.so \/usr\/lib32\/libGL.so # only for proprietary AMD drivers!\nsudo ln -s libGLU.so.1 libGLU.so\nsudo ln -s libX11.so.6 libX11.so\nsudo ln -s libXext.so.6 libXext.so\nsudo ln -s libXfixes.so.3 libXfixes.so\nsudo ldconfig\ncd \/path\/to\/ssr (will be the ssr directory under `\/workspaces\/` in my example)\n$ .\/simple-build-and-install \n<\/code><\/pre>\nSo, what’s the right way to solve the problem so that I don’t have to create these symlinks and so that the app won’t break if I change video drivers?<\/p>\n
Is there an IRC channel that is appropriate for this question?<\/p>\n
