Details

In cinelerra-cv-20100301-1, the "X11-OPENGL" video driver is not available in 'Settings' -> 'Preferences' -> 'Playback' -> 'Video out'.

This driver is useful for users having an nvidia video card to speed up video playback. Cinelerra-cv is known to work well with opengl on nvidia cards.

According to the PKGBUILD in 'community', cinelerra-cv should be compiled with opengl support. Quote :
# If you don't need OpenGL comment out the next line.
sed -i '/\/X11R6/s///' configure.in

I rebuilt cinelerra-cv using this PKGBUILD. At the end of the 'configure' step, I got this message :
OpenGL 2.0 libraries missing
Hardware acceleration using OpenGL 2.0 is disabled

On my system, the package 'nvidia-utils' is installed and provides 'libgl'. 'mesa' is also installed.
This task depends upon

Actually, it's provided by libgl (nvidia-utils provides libgl for nvidia users).
I do see the problem though :P

on x86_64 or i686 (i don't remember) ./configure doesn't detect opengl and is not compiled the support for it.

According to cinelerra-cv manual (http://cinelerra.org/docs/split_manual_en/cinelerra_cv_manual_en_3.html#SEC46) :
"The configure option to enable OpenGL is `--enable-opengl'."

I modified the PKGBUILD to add this configure option :
if [ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ]; then
- ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-buildinfo=git/recompile --with-external-ffmpeg --disable-mmx
+ ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-buildinfo=git/recompile --with-external-ffmpeg --disable-mmx --enable-opengl
else
- ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-buildinfo=git/recompile --with-external-ffmpeg --enable-mmx
+ ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-buildinfo=git/recompile --with-external-ffmpeg --enable-mmx --enable-opengl
fi

Then I rebuilt the package (the latest git version)... Now, the X11-OPENGL driver is available and working on my system.

So, would you please like to :
1. verify that the inclusion of '--enable-opengl' doesn't have negative side effects for other users (with and without nvidia cards)
2. if everything is OK, include this option in the PKGBUILD ?

Thanks in advance.
