hi everyone,

I am trying to get LMMS 0.47 on Slackware 13.0 x64 working ;


-- checking for module 'sndfile>=1.0.11'
-- package 'sndfile>=1.0.11' not found


LMMS requires libsndfile1 and libsndfile1-dev >= 1.0.11 - please install,
remove CMakeCache.txt and try again!


these errors popup. I configured make and make installed libsndfile1 without problems but still LMMS wont install. Also I removed CMakeCache.txt as well.

Any suggestions?

Are you sure you actually installed it?
If you used, for example, a build script from SlackBuilds.org, did you actually *install* the resulting package, or did you only build it?

I installed from original package, slackbuild returned C Compiler cannot create executable error unfortunately.

Output of slackbuild script ;

checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: in `/tmp/SBo/libsndfile-1.0.20':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

Please do that.

where should it supposed to be ? I don't see any log file in current directory (which is libsndfile from slackbuild)

What do you mean "from original package" ?? libsndfile is not included with Slackware, so there is no "original package" (depending on the context, of course). Again, where did you get the package?

That being said, it sounds like one of the following things is wrong:

1) you're trying to build x86_64 executables on a 32bit system (or vice versa)
2) you don't have the complete development environment required for building; make sure you have all of the D series installed. In fact, you should probably make sure you have a *full* installation of Slackware.

Somewhere under /tmp is the expanded source directory. In the source directory is config.log.
