Description Oleg Bosis 2014-01-31 18:18:42 CET

I've tried to install a freshly-released professional video editor Lightworks 11.5 for Linux (http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_lwks&view=download&Itemid=206&tab=1 ) but it failed with the following message:

$ LC_ALL=C sudo urpmi lwks-11.5-amd64.rpm 
A requested package cannot be installed:
lightworks-11.5-1.x86_64 (due to unsatisfied libportaudiocpp.so.0()(64bit))
Continue installation anyway? (Y/n)

I've compared mageia's portaudio spec-file with officially supported fedora's one and found that mageia's package is built without "--enable-cxx" configure option. That caused missing C++ version of the library and inability to install Lightworks.

I'm experiencing the same problem on Mageia-4, and hope this problem can be resolved soon...

(Trying to migrate video editing from Windows 7 (Studio Pinnacle) to Linux!)

Now got Lightworks running on Mageia-4.

Did 'urpmi --allow-nodeps lwks-11.5-amd64.rpm' until the only dependency not satisfied was libportaudiocpp.so.0.
  Then downloaded portaudio-19-9.fc12.x86_64.rpm from rpmbone, extracted the handful of files from that and copied those not already there into /usr/lib64.

Lightworks then started normally.

Updated portaudio in Cauldron to latest 'stable' snapshot and enabled C++ library build.

As QA team is already overworked, and introducing new features, especially for libraries and backporting them to older distros is probably not a good idea. So as it has been fixed for cauldron, you can easily rebuild this for mga3 and 4.
