On master branch, made a minor change to add a try-catch in one file so it’s practically clean. When I run make, I get a failure in what looks like the translation directory:
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/tom/Projects/audacity/audacity/locale'
: --update --lang=af af.po audacity.pot
rm -f af.gmo && : -c --statistics --verbose -o af.gmo af.po
mv: cannot stat 't-af.gmo': No such file or directory
Makefile:742: recipe for target 'af.gmo' failed
make[2]: *** [af.gmo] Error 1
No, but I’ve reset it to a clean copy, and it’s still failing. Anyway the error make throws doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the file I modified.
Never mind; I installed “gettext” (which was not installed before) and it works now. I hit some other make errors after that, but was able to resolve them by installing build-essential and gnome-devel. Thanks though!
For the benefit of other readers, on Ubuntu / Debian based systems, “build-essential” is a prerequisite and should be installed first, then Audacity’s other dependencies may be installed with the command:
