First, permit me to express my sorrow after reading of Vaughan Johnson’s passing on your main page. As a long-time user of Audacity, I am very indebted to all who have brought it to fruition. I suspect his handiwork will long live across the globe as a fitting tribute.
Now, to my issue. I saw what you guys did in later version after a package upgrade with chains and and with equalization dialog, but alas it just doesn’t meet my current needs. So I grabbed hold of older source (2.2.2) and was able to build successfully several months ago, and have used successfully all the while.
With all this time on my hands, I decided to make a tweak or two here and there in one of the effects program (ChangeSpeed.cpp etc). Now I find myself unable to build incorporating my changes without error. I am not asking you to debug my change. I am asking for help understanding why I am getting MAKE errors suddenly in nyquist library objects, which I assuredly have kept my mitts off of. I don’t even know why there is a “midi” thingy in there anyway, since my understanding is Audacity doesn’t even do MIDI.
Thanks to all
I am following the steps in the “INSTALL” file in root folder. When I enter make in my build folder, I get following:
