Audacity Forum

Congratulation! Recently the (non-Unicode) Debug & Release builds have been broken. If you grab a SVN HEAD today they should build. The non-Unicode builds are not really supported anymore and as soon as 2.0 releases should become completely extinct. The problem is that Windows98 will not run the Uni...

The original poster has agreed that further technical discussion should be constrained to Bugzilla. Much as I prefer the forum's interface for discussion, the Development Team programmers do not regularly read the forum. To include them we must use Bugzilla; if you cannot post there feel free to PM ...

With fear & trembling you may also examine the Registry entry with regedit (this is not for the uninitiated--if you do not understand the Registry DO NOT EDIT IT! though it is probably safe to search it <grin>):

Your WXWIN path may not be set up properly. This is often a problem after running Visual Studio (not VC++ Express) then reverting to Express. Look at my environmental variables: Feel free to post a screen shot of yours!

The patch I posted today on Bugzilla is the same as the inline patch and code I posted here today. The Bugzilla patch might not install on Linux because it was created on Windows--CR/LF issues kept me from installing a patch create on Linux into my Windows source. As it is only a couple of lines, ma...

By gosh I think I've got it! It would seem that on Windows (and I assume Mac since no one is complaining) That the "going inactive" signal which stimulates OnActivate happens before the file dialog opens but on Linux it triggers after the dialog opens. Reversing the sense of the boolean test (for Li...

I have now run Audacity under the KDbg debugger successfully! The big hurdle was installing all the -dev versions of the various libraries. Ubuntu complained vociferously about permissions and unapproved packages and getting all the dependencies balanced was fun. I'm going to play with the recalcitr...

Well done! You are most likely right. It has been many months since I built wxWidgets. I looked at my copy of setup.h from SVN HEAD which I grabbed yesterday and this stray <w> is in mine as well. I will post a bug immediately. Perseverance is rewarded by success! Keep us posted on your progress. Be...

autark, Can you compile a debug version of Audacity and if so, can you compile a debug version of wxWidgets and if both can you run it under a debugger so you can step into wxGetTopLevelParent(). For some reason this if (...) is never true on the Linux installs I have tested but works fine on Win7 (...
