Strangely this seems a syntax error. I'm sure all the dependencies are met since ./configure didn't turn any errors or warnings.

Someone who knows c++ will have to help. Maybe post in the programming forum or check the audacity site for bugs?

vharishankar · 04-05-2006, 04:24 AM

I'm using gcc version 3.4.6 from current.

Randux · 04-05-2006, 04:31 AM

I'm sorry, I don't know enough to help. Maybe there are some notes on building it on the audacity site.

Aren't there more warnings or errors exactly before this one? Or is this the first error?

vharishankar · 04-05-2006, 07:09 AM

Warnings, but I believe they are unrelated, but I cannot be sure. I'm going to recompile wxWidgets and start from scratch.

The only thing I can think of is I might have to run /sbin/ldconfig before compiling audacity and after installing wxWidgets.

This seems to handle the same problem, but it is in German:

I think you need to compile wxwidgets without the unicode option. That's what it says in the audacity site.

I'm trying this right now

./configure --with-motif --disable-unicode

And I'll let you know how it goes. This might do it, I suspect.

No luck. Compile still halts with the exact same error message. Wonder what is required to get audacity to compile...

merchtemeagle · 04-05-2006, 09:33 AM

Could you post the previous warnings here?

vharishankar · 04-05-2006, 09:53 AM

Dearie me, I was using the Motif/X11 version of wxWidgets and ended up with the wrong version. And couldn't compile that source with the gtk option

Now I'm downloading wxGTK source and I'll compile. Hopefully will work this time.

vharishankar · 04-05-2006, 10:20 AM

Success. Worked with the wxGTK kit.
