Right now am stuck up at Step 3 of the below wiki link:
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/CompilingAudacityForBeginners#Compiling_on_Unix_for_total_beginners


This is the last few lines of error i get on executing…
…
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.7… no
*** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found
*** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to gtk-config.
checking for gtk-config… (cached) no
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.3… no
*** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found
*** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to gtk-config.
configure: error:
Please check that gtk-config is in path, the directory
where GTK+ libraries are installed (returned by
‘gtk-config --libs’ command) is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or
equivalent variable and GTK+ is version 1.2.3 or above.


and when i execute make,i get the below error
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

Please help me !

Are you really trying to build Audacity 1.2? I wouldn’t, as it will be replaced with 2.0 soon.

Try something more like these steps, which should get you proper dependencies:

Compiling from HEAD is broken at the moment pending some further tests. Should be working again in 24 hours or so, therefore try then.
