Audacity Forum

I'm trying to compile 1.3.4 on FreeBSD 7.0 amd64 but I keep getting this configure error. It compiled fine on 1.3.3 but now it says portaudio doesn't include required functions. Any idea on how to fix this issue? configure output is below.

I'm getting similar errors. But, I'm trying to compile using Kdevelop. If I compile from the command line, I don't get those errors.

I got it to work (configure). I added the --without-portmixer option.

--enable-debug=yes --prefix=/home/backdoc --without-portmixer --with-portaudio=v19 --with-wxwidgets=gtk2-ansi-release-2.8 --program-prefix=_beta

If I compile without portmixer, it works, but the input sound device is not recognized.

Are you using the current CVS / tarball of 1.3.4? This normally shows up if you remove the portaudio-v19 directory from the tarball and replace it with one from the portaudio website, because they don't include the patch that is needed in portaudio in order for portmixer (which provides audio device control) to work.

If it works on the command line (where it was written and tested) but not in kdevelop, it sounds like a kdevelop problem not an audacity one.

I'm not sure if this question was directed toward me or not. I did not replace the portaudio-v19 directory. But, I am trying to use Kdevelop.

I haven't posted the problems that I am having with Kdevelop/Audacity. To me, either my problems look like an issue with Kdevelop or just the simple fact that I don't know Kdevelop. I know that I have no problem compiling Audacity on the command line.

I am going to start a new thread for my issues because I think the problems are distinct. I am also chronicling my issues in the form of a HOWTO on my website: http://www.crotchett.com/kdevelop

I downloaded the tarball off of the website and tried to compile it and got the portaudio configure error.

A really old thread here, but I've just run up against this issue. The solution for me was to configure with the option

Code: Select all

--with-portmixer="local" 

Thank you very much. You saved my day.
