I built my Linux OS from source files. I installed wxgtk-2.8.12.1, which compiled with no issues.

Can anyone give me a clue as to why all these references are undefined?

TIA

The current version of Audacity is 2.1.1. The source code is available via the link on the Audacity web site: http://web.audacityteam.org/download/source

Audacity 2.1.1 requires WxWidgets 2.8.12
Audacity 2.1.2 requires WxWidgets 3.
See the README.txt file in the source code for more details.

Okay, so I installed wxWidgets-3.0.2 with no problems.

I then compiled audacity-2.1.1 and got this:

It doesn't seem to have found any errors but has treated warnings as errors.

I looked at ./configure --help
but there doesn't seem to be an option to not treat warnings as errors.

How do I prevent the compile from aborting?

As Steve knows, the standard recommendation is to build 2.1.1 with wx2.8.12. Building 2.1.1 release with wx3 is not supported and will create many interface problems.

The developers have been working to fix our most serious wx3 issues, so the next 2.1.2 release of Audacity will support and require wx3.0.2.

This does not explain why 2.1.0 does not compile against wx2.8.12 but I suppose it could be something to do with "compiling Linux OS from source files". What distro of Linux did you build? Is the problem something to do with installing a custom or unexpected fftlib?

If you don't need a specific version of Audacity for a particular reason, I suggest you build Audacity HEAD (2.1.2-alpha) which is almost ready for release as Audacity 2.1.2 and believed quite stable.

Even if you succeed in compiling 2.1.1 against wx3.0.2 it will be highly buggy.

If there is some problem compiling HEAD on your system then we can see what we can do to fix it, given it's our current code.

Please tell us more about your self-bullt Linux distro.

Well that's interesting -

I downloaded the source files from github, as you suggested and compiled those.

I get errors from FFmpeg.h as follows:

I have ffmpeg-2.8.1 installed.
Please read http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/fa ... html#linff for the versions of FFmpeg that Audacity supports.

In other words, compile your own build of a supported FFmpeg version. If you were to install it in usr/local Audacity should see it instead of FFmpeg 2.8.1 - but if you have built a custom bespoke version of Linux for yourself there are no guarantees about anything. If necessary you can adjust AVCODEC_CFLAGS, AVCODEC_LIBS, AVFORMAT_CFLAGS, AVFORMAT_LIBS, AVUTIL_CFLAGS and AVUTIL_LIBS via configure to find your own build of FFmpeg.

Re: audacity-2.1.0 fails to compile [SOLVED]

Post by Johnburrell » Sat Oct 24, 2015 4:37 pm

I compiled the github audacity source files against ffmpeg-2.3.6 (the latest version that you support) and wxWidgets-3.0.2 and it finished with no errors.

It installed with no issues and appears to work as expected.

Thanks for your help.
