Is this even doable? It requires alsa libs.

The list of deps includes things not in MacPorts. I don't believe this is a viable request.

        - a52dec
        - alsa libs (>= 0.9)
        - faac
        - faad2
        - fftw
        - lame
        - libavc1394
        - libiec61883
        - libraw1394
        - libsndfile
        - libvorbis (1.0)
        - libogg (1.0)
        - libpng
        - libjpeg       
        - libtiff
        - libesd (esound = 0.2.28)
        - libfreetype (>=2.1.4)
        - mjpegtools
        - OpenEXR
        - x264
        - xlib-dev
        - gettext

        - automake 1.7
        - autoconf
        - libtool

I've attached my attempt at creating a Portfile for this.

Note it uses a p7zip archive since there are no tags in the git repo (these people are crazy). You can make one from inside the local git repo: git archive HEAD > ~/cv.tar Then go expand it and compress it using 7za. This would then need uploaded to the MacPorts distfiles mirror.

I changed libjpeg and libtiff to jpeg and tiff in the proposed Portfile and also added these lines: fetch.type git git.url ​git://git.cinelerra.org/j6t/cinelerra.git

Here is the error I get:

configure: error: Sufficiently new version of libasound not found.

Time to reassess?
