Rev11203 syntax error on configure

[StillLearnin]

Ubuntu Studio 11.4
fresh SVN checkout
I think I have all dependencies installed
on running ./configure I get...

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking for pkg-config... yes
./configure: line 3581: syntax error near unexpected token `-rdynamic,,,'
./configure: line 3581: `AX_LD_CHECK_FLAG(-rdynamic,,,'

Any advice? anyone?

Are you on a 32 bit or 64 bit machine?
If you're on a 32-bit machine you can get the latest version from the Audacity Team PPA: https://launchpad.net/~audacity-team/+archive/daily
Unfortunately there appears to be a problem at the moment on 64-bit.

Running 32 bit on this machine.
Thanks for the link, but I actually want to compile it myself as I plan to make some code changes.
I want to make sure I can compile with the code from SVN before I start programming on this project.

If you are still having problems look at the last post I made in this thread:
http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 19&t=56950

The first link in that post is to a post on -dev (Audacity's developer listserve). Benjamin Drung in a Linux Guru and might have patches available which would help you.

Here is the relevant info from the second link:

preethishravan,
I had go back to svn checkout -r 11014 ... to find something that would compile with Ubuntu 10.10. Read this:
http://audacity.238276.n2.nabble.com/Da ... 36157.html
on the Audacity -devel mailing list for details. In short they know it is broken but have not had time to fix it yet.

ve2tmq,
As for the OP's failure with 1.3.12, I am not sure but it looks like a problem with wxWidgets. Did you install a wxWidgets package or did you build it yourself? As for Audacity, you should grab version 11014:

Code: Select all

svn checkout -r 11014 http://audacity.googlecode.com/svn/audacity-src/trunk/ targetFolder

and try building that.

For both of you, keep an eye on:
http://code.google.com/p/audacity/updates/list
and watch for a new commit which fixes the Linux build, then use:

Code: Select all

svn checkout http://audacity.googlecode.com/svn/audacity-src/trunk/ targetFolder

to check out the SVN HEAD and build that--it is 1.3.14alpha and should be very stable for most situations.
