error compiling audacity-1.3.4

Hello!
I am running Slackware Linux 12.0 with kernel generic-smp-2.6.21.5-smp. I have problems compiling audacity-src-1.3.4-beta. Has any one been successful dong that?
I use the following build script:
#!/bin/sh

# Slackware build script for Audacity

# Written by Chess Griffin <chess at chessgriffin dot com>
# Thanks to Eric Hameleers for adding the audacity.desktop
# file and other tweaks and bug fixes.

The error occurs during the "make" phase and has something to do with import mp3.

Thanks for your attention.

Why do you need a script to build an app from source? Hmm. Anyway, why don't you post the actual error or, better yet, the last 20-30 lines of output from the failed make.

Without the exact error message it's hard to know what the problem is.

The script builds a package.

1.4.x is out.. Try building that unless you need 1.3.whatever....

And yes, error output would be most helpfull.

Well, here are the last few lines from the output:

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I searched for a while, but I could not find the source cod of audacity-1.4.x for downloading. Would you please provide a link?

Thank you for your responsiveness.

"-I/usr/include/wx-2.6" -audacity needs wxGTK-2.6 to compile apparently.

I have wxGTK-2.6.3-i686-1_SBo installed using the script from slackbuilds.org. The previous version of audacity compiles, but this one does not.

Open the file /tmp/SBo/audacity-src-1.3.4-beta/src/import/ImportMP3.cpp in your favorite editor. Look for this line right after the header (around line 28)

Code:

#include <wx/defs.h>

Add this line right after it

Code:

#include <wx/intl.h>

Then look for this a little further down (around line 35)

Code:

static const wxChar *exts[] =

{

  wxT("mp3"),

  wxT("mp2"),

  wxT("mpg"),

  wxT("mpeg"),

  wxT("mpa")

};

Add this line right before it

Code:

#define DESC _("MP3 files")

Save the file with your changes and execute make again. Should work.

The other option is to use a stable release of Audacity instead of a beta release.

I think I will rather wait for a stable release, since the current installed 1.3.3 works fine.

Thank you for your reply.

Sorry... Was thinking of Audacious.... Audacity, Audacious.. Something wrong with that. Too many linux programs so people are running out of names I guess. ;)

I just googled your error. Someone said it's a known bug and is fixed in CVS. Grab the latest from SVN/CVS and build that. Or you could diff the two and come up with a patch.

They also said installing libmad solves the issue as well.... Use the search luke... I haven't tried it myself but seemed like a pretty definitive post...

That's where I got the lines that need to be added, so a CVS grab should work unless something else has changed as well. I can confirm that libmad will prevent that little bit of code from compiling.

But then there's again the problems regarding libmad described here:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...4-beta-604042/

At llest current cvs-version does include a version of libmad and does build against that one.
