CLAUDE.md - Project Memories

Project Overview

  • What: Bash installer script (DR_MINT.sh) for DaVinci Resolve on Linux Mint 22
  • Repo: 28allday/DaVinci-Resolve-Linux-Mint
  • Owner: 28allday
  • License: As-is (no formal license)

Architecture

  • Single bash script (DR_MINT.sh) — no other source files
  • Script must be run with sudo; uses logname/SUDO_USER to resolve the real user
  • Installs to /opt/resolve
  • Expects DaVinci Resolve ZIP in ~/Downloads/

Script Flow (DR_MINT.sh)

  1. Installs FUSE libraries (fuse, libfuse2)
  2. Installs Qt5 libraries (extensive list for UI support)
  3. Finds and extracts DaVinci Resolve ZIP from ~/Downloads/
  4. Runs .run installer with FUSE; falls back to --appimage-extract if FUSE fails
  5. Resolves library conflicts (moves bundled libgio/libgmodule to not_used/, copies system libglib-2.0.so.0)
  6. Cleans up temp extraction directory

Key Technical Details

  • Uses set -eo pipefail for strict error handling
  • SKIP_PACKAGE_CHECK=1 bypasses Resolve's distro check (it only officially supports CentOS/RHEL)
  • Qt env vars (QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH, QT_PLUGIN_PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH) are set for installer GUI
  • Library conflict: Resolve bundles old glib/gio that clash with Mint's newer system versions
  • Does NOT touch bundled libc++/libc++abi — C++ ABI dependencies would break

Code Quality

  • Script has been through shellcheck review (PR #1)
  • Fixes applied: pipefail added, privilege check fixed (id -u instead of whoami), glob safety for libgio*/libgmodule* patterns
  • Comments are detailed and comprehensive
