Trouble building 2.1.1 on Ubuntu Vivid [SOLVED]

Programming and Development Compiling Audacity

I’m having trouble building 2.1.1 on Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivd). I downloaded and un-archived the source tarfile with no errors. Then I executed ‘sudo apt-get build-dep audacity’ to get the dependencies. Configure seemed to run okey, but the text scrolled by so fast I don’t know if there were any serious errors. Finally ran make, which aborted after a while with the following…

Makefile:2620: recipe for target 'audacity-AudacityApp.o' failed
make[2]: *** [audacity-AudacityApp.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/ka1ssr/Downloads/audacity-minsrc-2.1.1/src'
Makefile:1333: recipe for target 'all' failed
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/ka1ssr/Downloads/audacity-minsrc-2.1.1/src'
Makefile:716: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

I am attaching the config.log file in case someone spots something I missed.

Many thanks for your help.

Looks like you are building with WxGTK-3.0, which is not yet supported.
Probably the easiest solution would be to install Audacity 2.1.1 from this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuhandbook1/+archive/ubuntu/audacity
