hi,
hope I've post this in the right thread ...
I've got problems with arodour 4.7.0 slackbuild (I'm running SW 14.2 x64)
Checked all mentioned dependencies and installed the missing ones
(jack-audio-connection-kit, lv2, vamp-plugin-sdk, aubio, liblo, liblrdf, rubberband)
I've done the following:

* su -l
* downloaded ardour.tar.gz; tar -xvf ardour.tar.gz;
* downloaded Ardour-4.7.0.tar.bz2; mv Ardour-4.7.0.tar.bz2 /home/'myuser'/Downloads/ardour
* cd arodur; chmod +x ardour.SlackBuild
* got the following error:[/I][/I]

Any suggestion?
Sorry for noobish question, but I'm quite new on linux/Slackware/This Forum
thanks in advance

Quickest solution would be to just install serd. As to why it is showing it's needed and it isn't on the required dependencies list would take a bit more investigation. It might be worth contacting the package maintainer about that.

Looks like you need to install serd

You need lilv.

I think you have the wrong link...

Fixed, thanks

I didn't realize missing a slash at the end of the package name prevents the page from coming up... good to know

Thank You all!
Successfully compiled Ardour package!
many many many thanks!!!

Hi,

For your information : Ardour 5.3 is available in the official Zenwalk repository :

Have fun

Thank you H1p8r10nI'd already compiled and installed 4.7 and found several dependencies not listed in the process but that's somewhat common depending on any optional features. I've been using Ardour since it literally began, like pre-Alpha, with no installation instructions. I've enjoyed 4.7 on my 14.0 32 bit system and was pleased to get it to compile on this new 14.2 54 bit install. I'm still struggling with PulseAudio since I prefer the native midi support of Jack1 but I'll get it, eventually.

Anyway thanks for the link as Ardour just keeps getting better!

The "m" serie in Zenwalk provides many other audio tools

Studioware is very nice as well ! I used it before Emurikku began building packages for Zenwalk

You're welcome to contribute packages if you like

All the best
