Audacity 2.0.5 compilation fails on Debian Squeeze

[GMaq]

Hi,

First of all props and Kudos to the developers of Audacity, it is an indispensible tool for Linux Audio enthusiasts!

I am the maintainer of AV Linux and regularly compile/package Audacity, AV Linux is currently based on Debian 6.0 (Squeeze). I have had no difficulty compiling and providing packages for previous versions up to 2.0.3 however compilation on 2.0.5 fails with this:

Code: Select all

export/ExportPCM.cpp: In member function ‘bool ExportPCM::AddStrings(AudacityProject*, SNDFILE*, Tags*, int)’:
export/ExportPCM.cpp:740:28: error: ‘SF_STR_GENRE’ was not declared in this scope
export/ExportPCM.cpp:764:28: error: ‘SF_STR_TRACKNUMBER’ was not declared in this scope
make[1]: *** [export/ExportPCM.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/glen/Packaging/AUDACITY/audacity-src-2.0.5/src'
make: *** [audacity] Error 2

My guess is it may be related to Debian Squeeze using GTK 2.20 and Audacity's code looking for features of GTK 2.24+ but that is just a guess. Please note that the ./configure stage succeeds with no reported errors or missing dependencies.

I am using this to configure:

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-libtwolame

I hope that this can be patched or fixed for AV Linux users to continue to enjoy the latest Audacity. Your time and attention are appreciated!

Hi,

A little more digging and the problem had nothing to do with GTK but was related to 'libsndfile1', although Audacity specs 1.0.20, in truth it requires features from libsndfile1 1.0.25 for 2.0.5 to successfully compile.

Sorry for the noise, I would suggest updating the version in your configure script or have it automatically select the libsndfile bundled in the source if version 1.0.25 is not present though if possible.

Thanks for letting us know the outcome GMaq.

The developers are hoping to release 2.0.6 before the end of the year. There is a lot of work going on updating old libraries used by Audacity and updating the configure scripts etc. It may be a good idea for you to also try building from SVN so that you can report any compatibility problems that you encounter direct to the developers.

You can contact the developers is via the audacity-devel mailing list: http://audacityteam.org/contact/lists

The source code for Audacity 2.0.5 is available here: http://audacity.googlecode.com/files/au ... 0.5.tar.xz (direct link).
Instructions for building Audacity from source on Debian based Linux distributions: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Compi ... ux_Mint.29

Before you start you should ensure that your user name is a member of the "sudo" group and "audio" group.

When trying to compile I've got an error:

Audacity supports FFmpeg 0.5 through 0.8. Later versions are not currently supported.
The easiest way round the problem is to build Audacity without FFmpeg support.

Code: Select all

./configure --without-ffmpeg
make
sudo make install

[rulet]

Whether it limit audacity functionality(without ffmpeg support)? If so, how?

...Well I compiled without errors(except the messages about missing translations on Russian of about 931 messages, if I understood right from what I read in make output) with:

Code: Select all

./configure --without-ffmpeg
make

Now, how to make a deb-package(-s)?

And how about first question:
