[chlowden]

Hello Has anyone managed install raven on Rocky Linux 8 ? I am getting a cmake error `(base) [admin@LOWROCKY build]$ cmake .. -- Checking for module 'gtk+-3.0' -- Found gtk+-3.0, version 3.22.30 -- Found OpenGL: /usr/lib64/libOpenGL.so

Please run this:

% git submodule init
% git submodule update

and then try again.

@chlowden did that help at all?

Hello, Sorry for my delay in replying ... `(base) [admin@LOWROCKY raven-main]$ git init hint: Using 'master' as the name for the initial branch. This default branch name hint: is subject to change.

Sadly ... I'm missing something

In the log above, you ran git init which seems to have overwritten the .git folder, or maybe it wasn't there to begin with? That might be the clue we needed. Perhaps you downloaded a ZIP instead of using git clone? That would also explain the problem since the ZIP download does not include submodules.

Please delete whatever you downloaded and start over like this:

  git clone --recursive git@github.com:OpenTimelineIO/raven.git
  cd raven
  mkdir build
  cd build
  cmake ..
  cmake --build . -j
  ./raven ../example.otio

If that works, we'll update the README to explain this more clearly.

I've got it working. Thank you for your suggestion. Below is the method that worked for me ..

cd /Downloads sudo git clone --recursive https://github.com/OpenTimelineIO/raven.git cd raven sudo mkdir build cd build sudo cmake .. sudo cmake --build . -j ./raven ../example.otio There is a strange issue of having 2 windows, one is grey and the other is the GUI. If I try to resize either, the app may crash or I have to close the app to get the GUI back in front of the grey box.

[jminor]

Yay. I'm glad this is working for you now.

Side note: sudo should not be needed at all for Raven.
