To use them, set the full paths for the blender and inkscape executables in the preferences menu. -* Note that httplib2 (openshot REQUIRES httplib2) must have been built -using the python3 option (by setting PYTHON3=yes in the build environment). -* Similarly, python-requests also needs python3 to be installed when -being built but no special setting is needed in this case. +OpenShot depends on several of its dependent packages' support for python3. +In many cases, the python3 support is optional in the dependent packages +themselves so python3 is not listed in their REQUIRES field. As a result, +automatic build queue generators will most likely _not_ provide a usable +build queue. It is recommended that python3 be the first package to be built +and installed before all the other packages required for openshot. + +Please note that while most of the dependent packages requiring python3 +will detect the presence (or not) of python3 and build accordingly, an +exception is httplib2 must have been built with python3 support by setting + PYTHON3=yes +in the build environment. |
