fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'audacity/Types

Programming and Development Compiling Audacity
1

Hi,
I am a non programmer. New bee to audacity too.
Trying to compile Audacity but Getting below error.

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: ‘audacity/Types.h’: No such file or directory

But in the SVN folder I can clearly see these file in the path …includeaudacity

Using below version
VC 2008 for compiling.
wxWidgets-2.8.12
Latest version of audacity available on SVN

Thanx in advance.

Audacity no longer supports compiling with Visual Studio 2008. Please see the top of http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Developing_On_Windows. If you use a version of Visual Studio 2013 and follow win/compile.txt, HEAD (latest SVN) will definitely compile right now.

Thanx Gale Andrews for the reply.

As suggested I started using Visual Studio 2013.
After following all the steps mentioned in the compile.txt, when I started compiling audacity, I am getting below errors.

  1. error C2059: syntax error : ‘)’
  2. error C2146: syntax error : missing ‘;’ before identifier ‘format’
  3. error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed.
  4. error C2061: syntax error : identifier ‘sampleFormat’

All these errors for different files like SampleFormat.h, Track.h, Types.h, Sequence.h etc.

Please suggest.

I suggest you follow the steps in compile.txt to the letter. Delete the Audacity tree you had and make a fresh checkout. Then it will work. Use audacity.sln not the audacity-vs2008_OBSOLETE.sln.

Examine why you need to compile Audacity if you are not a programmer. Have you actually changed the Audacity code?
