Ardour compile on Ubuntu 8.10

Hi.

I'm trying to compile ardour 2.8.7 from source and the compile got past the dependencies and everything else fine but it stopped at one point with these errors

Code:

I have no experience compiling python.

I would not like to install from a package as the one with ubuntu is wrongly compiled and so are many others which are hosted I have heard the only way to make the problems with packaged versions stop is by compiling ardour yourself so I would still like to go ahead with it.

Could somebody help me with this error? I just want ardour to work.

Thanks

1. what problems are you talking about, I have ardour here and no issues ... i installed ardourvst (with vsti support via wine). I would give that a try.

2. If you really, really wanna build:
It claims it is missing audio/audio.h ... do you have kernel headers? I would get them ... and build-essential is just a bunch of stuff required for building from source ... can't harm ;-)

Code:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential

The problems I am refering to are badly messed up distributions of ardour from what it seems.

http://ardour.org/node/2325

I ram into this problem and I can't import music either. According to that forum as I said in my last post it is a number of linux distros which come with ardour precompiled as a download option in the package manager.

Again according to the ardour forum building yourself will fix the problem.

I don't know about other distributions but I have heard canonical are a great company for service.

Canonical

Whoever made that bad compile please fire the guy.

EDIT: Just tried the compile again after checking the headers, according to the build essential thing I have everything I should need

and I still get the same aubio.h errors. What is this missing audio thing and how can I fix it? Could it be a typo?

What CPU arch are you on? post the output of `uname -r` ... in the worst case, I will build it for you ... and send you it. Funny, I have no issues importing wavs ... have not tested other things ... I have already copmpiled it fine on linux-86 (not 64 Bit), but I have debian squeeze 64 Bit, and there it works find with wav and flac ... I installed ardour on my work system (I had ardour on my home system - I multi-boot as I work from home). It works out of the box with wav and flac, no issues at all ... maybe it is just the ubuntu package that is broken ...

linuxisgreat · 05-17-2010, 05:45 AM

Code:

andrew@andrew-desktop:~$ uname -r
2.6.27-17-generic
andrew@andrew-desktop:~$

That's the output from uname -r

obviously

Anyway I don't think it's a build problem it looks to me like a file is missing but I don't know where it is or how to get to it. Is it a problem in the Sconstruct file or something with my system? I don't know that much about python but I think there is something about the expected token that is doing it.

This is compiling c++, it has nothing to do with python. It cannot find audio/audio.h ... look at http://ardour.org/node/2147

linuxisgreat · 05-19-2010, 12:46 PM

Thanks.

It works fine now all I had to do was install libaubio.

Also took me a while to figure out where the install put the executable binary file but it was in /usr/local/bin I made a link to it in the sound and video menu.

Also I did a search for the ardour icons so I could change it to the logo in the men.
