audacity 2.1.2 fails to compile on open suse 13.2

[Gale Andrews]

this is curious since ./lib-src/portsmf/allegro.h has #include <assert.h>

Have you tried configuring with local portsmf ?


Gale

no; I just tried but portmidi failed to compile...
here is the error message if it can be useful:

Code: Select all

/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.8/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot open output file /Release/libpmjni.so: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
pm_common/CMakeFiles/pmjni.dir/build.make:236: recipe for target '/Release/libpmjni.so' failed
make[2]: *** [/Release/libpmjni.so] Error 1
CMakeFiles/Makefile2:77: recipe for target 'pm_common/CMakeFiles/pmjni.dir/all' failed
make[1]: *** [pm_common/CMakeFiles/pmjni.dir/all] Error 2
Makefile:117: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

in portmidi, I only made
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Reconfigure and compile in the top level.

Why are you running cmake? You should only need to install cmake (or libsoxr-dev which installs cmake) then run make.

You can also try configuring --without-midi unless you really need MIDI support. Then you should not have issues with portmidi or portsmf.

Similarly to use local portsmf, configure --with-midi=local.

I also tried building it on openSUSE 13.2 and I get this error. But I don't get, what the problem is: what about that ANSI vs. Unicode thing?
How do I solve this now? Do I really have to compile wxWidgets to solve this problem?

As I assume you know, to help someone with a compilation error we need a minimum of the lines leading up to the error, and ideally the commands you used to configure Audacity.

Default Audacity configure is with unicode and you should not change that. So if you are trying to build Audacity 2.1.2, build it with a unicode version of wxWidgets 3.0.x, ideally 3.0.2. wxWidgets 3 defaults to unicode.

OK, I did ./configure --prefix=/home/user/usr and got:

The wxWidgets version is 3.0.2.

[steve]

What does this command give you?

Code: Select all

wx-config --list

[lineinthesand]

Code: Select all

    Default config is gtk2-unicode-3.0

  Default config will be used for output


[steve]

Sorry I meant to ask for this as well:

Code: Select all

wx-config --version

./configure --prefix=/home/user/usr

is that the exact configure command that you are using to compile Audacity?

[lineinthesand]

Yes, I'm planning to install it in my home directory.

[steve]

What did wx-config --version give you?

[lineinthesand]

It gives a straight 3.0.2.
