I’ve built Ardour 2.6.1 a few times now with VST, LV2, FREESOUND and FFT Analysis. After upgrading my SLV2 libs to 0.6.0 I could build Ardour and create a checkinstall deb with my eyes closed…
Then Sampo came along with his brilliant Wiimote Hack, so I build CWiiD and download SVN 4195 and then SVN 4200 which now has SAE as well as Wii support and I can’t seem to get a build to work.
Firstly the config will not see and use my slv2 0.6.0 which worked previously and if I continue the build, it will build the target but when I go the checkinstall stage it builds but will not install or create a deb package due to something in the SAE folder relating to gtk.
I’m very sorry I can’t post the log because due to internet problems I have to post here on a different computer.
Can we get a stable tarball somewhere between Wiimote and SAE? Or Two stable tarballs?
It is annoying enough to have to build the damn thing for VST in the first place without having a perfect build environment fail less than a week later.
if you run scons without any errors, you should be able to simply install ardour with ‘sudo scons install’.
just choose the same installation prefix as it was for your older ardour version.
no other application on your system is relying on ardour, so why carry about if your package manager will recognize that ardour is installed.
GMaq, “SAE” has always been there (since April 2007 anyway). It is not a separate codebase at all - in fact, when we bundle Ardour for OS X, we are using the exact same executable for the SAE and “Classic” version. If you can’t get a build to work, you should post the errors you are running into, rather than seeking an end-run around them.
My apologies for the “tone” I am suffering from extreme “compile fatigue”. My bad for not realizing the presence of SAE wasn’t new. But hey… I’m a user not a developer:). If I have to learn much more about the guts of Linux just to compile current Ardours I might as well become a developer!
As far as checkinstall, I realize I don’t have to use it, but I have more than one machine running Ardour, and with package based distros it’s easier to keep everything in one place. having said that my update manager is always bugging me to install an older version so maybe it’s not such a bad idea…Thanks Doc
I will try again w/o checkinstall, If I can’t make it work I’ll have to wait until I don’t have to post from my wife’s Windows office box.
Tried again w/o checkinstall and have same issue. Below is the lengthy install log. So to clarify scons builds targets with no errors but ignores slv2 0.6.0 which IS installed on system and compiled (pre wiimote) properly the previous week. I also tried building with switch SLV2=1 which worked previously and LV2=1 as the log instructed, no dice either way.
Help appreciated!

Hmmmmm, strange the other day I built the one with wiimote for testing without any issues (remember I am an unhappy Hardy user on an unhappy Hardy environment), only difference was that I didn’t build with VST support, actually I really try not to use VST on linux, but I do build with LV2, FFT and FREESOUND but maybe that could be the difference? not sure… I didn’t build a deb for that one, just wanted to see the wii-stuff in it and see if it would be a good idea to get a wii-mote, but never got any errors like yours.
Thanks a lot for the tip I will try it ASAP, since I usually log in directly to the forum I didn’t even realize there was a 2.7! It’s getting difficult to keep up. I still don’t understand the actual install error but one step at a time I guess!
Sorry, firstly sharing a checkinstall deb is a bad idea because checkinstall debs don’t automatically find/install dependencies on outside systems. Also VST support is illegal to re-distribute. I unfortunately don’t know how to build proper Debian packages at this point in time. Maybe someday.
I’ve built Ardour 2.6.1 a few times now with VST, LV2, FREESOUND and FFT Analysis. After upgrading my SLV2 libs to 0.6.0 I could build Ardour and create a checkinstall deb with my eyes closed…..
is it available as a ready to install pack maybe? would be nice!
Well you were right, I needed slv2 0.6.1 and also to build that I needed Redland 1.0.6 or greater. So if anyone else is reading for SLV2 support you will need these two libs, this stuff should really be posted with the new stable builds.
