Compiler error (puppy linux)

Audacity Help Forum GNU/Linux

I’m havng great difficulty compiling audacity.

When I try to make I get a long list of undefined references to wx___file in the black undefined references.

I downloaded 2.8.12 WxWidgets, compiled it with unicode and debug on. Testing it by typing xw-config --version works.

I set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the directory that has the XWidgets .h files.

Can anyone help me understand why this not working?

Thanks

Which version of Audacity are you trying to build?

3

The lastest stable version… Audacity minsrc-2.1.1

4

The latest version with the WXwidgets 2.8.12

5

There are old versions of Audacity which automatically install themselves on Linux puppy,
see … http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Audacity

Wow… that is Great! I still am puzzeled about what I’m doing “rong” but… I really just wanted a modern version. Using it is far more important (To me) then compiling it. Still wish I knew what I’m doing wrong but it looks like that thread you pointed out has the answers.

T H A N K Y O U !

I was up until 5 AM cursing at my keyboard.

Did you configure widgets with --enable-shared?

Also Audacity builds release configuration by default, so unless you set --enable-debug when you configured Audacity you would not get anywhere.

I’m afraid I didn’t even see anything on enabled-shared so no.
On wxwidgets I followed this
./configure --enable-unicode --enable-debug
make
make install
ldconfig
*Then I added the headers directory to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Then I tried
wx-config --version and got a satifactory reply.

From the previous link it appears that there are a plethora of dependancies that I didn’t install. Its frustraiting. I hate surfing the net for hours trying to figure out what multitude of things I need to download and compile first.

James,
I’m currently using Tahrpup 6.0.5 (Puppy Linux). I’m not into compiling, so I did the lamest thing ever: downloaded the binaries from launchpad, put all things together with the dependencies and got Audacity 2.1.1 working. Feel free to do the same, lol! :slight_smile: If you want, I could send you the installation pet, but note that it works only on Tahrpup.
