Re: [Mlt-devel] melt without X session or GUI

[Dan D. <da...@de...>]

xvfb-run will require you to install some X libs, but you do not need to
run X11 or setup a desktop to use it. There is no other way around this; you
have to what it says if you want to use Qt services. I use
xvfb-run regularly on headless machines, except in your case:
xvfb-run -a python your.py

Well, there might be a way to not use xvfb-run if you build your own Qt to
use something other than X. In any case, if you are just trying to use a
bitmap graphic and or text, in general, and not specifically qimage or
qtext then you can locate your libmltqt.so and move it somewhere out of its
current location. Then, things should fallback to using gdk-pixbuf and
pango.
