error compiling audacity-1.3.4

tramni1980 · 01-14-2008, 02:06 PM

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.

# Modified by the SlackBuilds.org project

cd $PKG

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.

jong357 · 01-14-2008, 03:19 PM

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.

Martin

"-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.

tramni1980 · 01-15-2008, 11:38 AM

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

Thank you for your reply.

jong357 · 01-15-2008, 07:46 PM

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.
