kdenlive @0.7.8 patch error

[derek.enos@…]

I apologize in advance for such a poorly written bug but I stumbled upon a work-around and successful install before remembering to capture the error log.

Installing on Mac OS X 10.6.8

Fails at "Applying patches to kdenlive" -> "patch-src-colorcorrection-vectorscopegenerator.h.diff"

Patch v2.5.8 complains 'rejecting file name with ".." component'

My fix was to edit "patch-src-colorcorrection-vectorscopegenerator.h.diff" and change "../kdenlive-0.7.8/" to an absolute path. Install then completes successfully.

Thanks, this solved my problem after 1 day searching.

To male it more clear for people like me, who are new to mac and macports,:

1. change the permission on /opt directory
2. go to /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/multimedia/kdenlive/files/patch-src-colorcorrection-vectorscopegenerator.h.diff
3. change the ../kdenlive-0.7.8 to /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_multimedia_kdenlive/kdenlive/work/kdenlive-0.7.8
4. sudo port clean kdenlive
5. sudo port intall kdenlive

and that is it....

Thanks again for your post.

Will be addressed by #29333 which updates the port to a newer version which no longer needs the patch.
