make error

[vince66]

Hello eveybody,

I have just compiled Audacity from source without errors on my PC.

Now i'm trying to compile it on my laptop (UBNUTU 16.04). When i launch the make, I receive this error:

audacity-AudioIO.o: In function `AudioIO::MidiTime()':
/usr/local/audacity/src/AudioIO.cpp:4001: undefined reference to `PaUtil_GetTime'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:2350: recipe for target 'audacity' failed
make[2]: *** [audacity] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/audacity/src'
Makefile:1588: recipe for target 'all' failed
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/audacity/src'
Makefile:799: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

BUILD FAILED (exit value 2, total time: 34m 51s)

Can you help me please ?

This the installation steps i adopted to compile from source:

System Settings -> Software and Updates -> Enable Source Code -> Close -> Reload.

Open a terminal (press Ctrl + Alt + T)
sudo apt build-dep audacity

sudo apt install git
git clone https://github.com/audacity/audacity

cd audacity
./configure
make
sudo make install

audacity


Thanks in advance.

Vincenzo.

Code: Select all

make distclean

to clean everything including "configure"
Then run configure again, adding

Code: Select all

--with-portaudio=local

to the configure options.

For example, for a debug build that will work with ffmpeg

Code: Select all

../configure CXXFLAGS="-std=gnu++11" --disable-dynamic-loading --with-portaudio=local --enable-debug

The two dots at the start are because create a "build" directory, change to that directory and build from there. If you build directly into the source tree, just one dot.
