Compiling soundKonverter

Woodsman · 09-04-2008, 09:12 PM

I downloaded the soundKonverter build script from slacky.eu but I cannot compile the package. The pre-make checks run without errors but when make executes I receive messages about aclocal-1.10: command not found.

I'm running Slackware 12.1. I have a /usr/bin/aclocal sym link pointing to /usr/bin/aclocal-1.9, but no aclocal-1.10. I checked the Slackware current branch and the automake package is 1.9.6, not 1.10.

Based upon some other build scripts I tried the following:

aclocal
automake --add-missing --copy --force --gnu --include-deps Makefile
autoconf

That failed to compile and then I tried:

aclocal -I . 2> /dev/null 1> /dev/null
autoheader 2> /dev/null 1> /dev/null
automake -a --force --copy --foreign 2> /dev/null 1> /dev/null
autoconf 2> /dev/null

No success.

Next I created a temporary soft link from /usr/bin/aclocal to /usr/bin/aclocal-1.10.

No success.

Is there a trick I can use in the build script to look for 1.9 rather than 1.10?

Has anybody else compiled soundKonverter?

I appreciate any help.

Thanks again.

Well this intrigued me - maybe I've got too much time on my hands !

Anyway - I downloaded the source for soundkonverter 0.3.7 and the slackbuild, slack-desc and slack-required from Slacky.it - I downloaded the Slackware 12.0 versions as this is on my target system.

To be honest I didn't even bother properly checking all dependencies but, as I have installed quite a lot of audio apps, I thought they'd most probably be there.

It compiled fine and the resulting package runs OK - possibly not what you wanted to hear.

If you want to know what versions I have installed of various programs feel free to ask.

This may be useful to you :

Thanks for helping. Based upon your response, I downloaded the sources for version 0.37, modified the build script accordingly, and the package built.

Version 0.37 seems to work okay. More importantly, the program seems to preserve the id3 tags, which was a big reason I wanted to try the app. I have tried sox, lame, ffmpeg and none of them preserve the tags.

The packager at slacky.eu must have installed automake 1.10 and is not using a stock 12.1 installation. Perhaps the original sources were built with 1.10 too. I'm not enough of a guru to know.

Well, you've downloaded soundkoverter, but forgot to read the installation part here.
This will probably work for you without installing newer automake:

Code:

WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" gmake -f Makefile.cvs
./configure
make
make install

Quote:

WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" gmake -f Makefile.cvs

This indeed turned the trick to compile version 0.38. Thank you.

This directive is missing from the build script.

I never saw the original author's message because I figured the person who constructed the build script tested more thoroughly. The build script contains no contact information.

As I previously shared, compiling version 0.37 compiled with no problems.

Well, I included this line in LinuxAbout repository (link in my sig.) SlackBuild script

Hope this will help other slackware users who wish to build latest version.
