Title:
  OpenShot needs a flexible autotools-based installation script

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I'm really impressed by the OpenShot screenshots and screencasts, but
  current methods of installation are a real showstopper for me. When
  installing third-party programs, specially development versions, I
  want some flexibility that neither the build wizard and the debs give
  me.

  I would like to be able to at least specify the directories for both
  installation and libraries. Specifying a directory for libraries is
  particularly important to test with bleeding-edge versions of ffmpeg
  and mlt avoiding any conflicts with programs compiled for old versions
  (such as kdenlive).

  The best course of action would be to use autotools.
