Ardour3 [gtk2_ardour/ardour.menus] not found

Hi !

I just compiled ardour 3.0 (downloaded with svn from http://subversion.ardour.org/svn/ardour2/branches/3.0 )
The compilation worked fine (after so many missing libs installed), but here is the problem in installation :

... 'configure' finished successfully (2.405s)

root@x:/…/ardour3.0# ./waf install
Waf: Entering directory /.../ardour3.0/build' <b>Unable to install the fileardour.menus’: not found in dir:///…/ardour3.0/gtk2_ardour

root@x:/…/ardour3.0# ls -l gtk2_ardour/.menu

I have absolutely no idea what to try !
Can I create a link from ardour.menus to ardour.menus.in ? :-\ (but I think some modifications have to be done from file.in to file… ?)

Thanks in advance.

ok, thanks a lot for your work :wink:

for now, I’m gonna try ardev…

PS: ok, I give up :frowning: lol there’s another missing file for ardev: build/default/gtk2_ardour/ardev_common_waf.sh

I’m gonna wait for the official release :wink: code well ! :-p

Do not attempt to install ardour3, and in fact, ardour3 is not ready for testing yet by anyone other than our developers and long term testers. If you insist on trying it out, use the “ardev” script in gtk2_ardour.

Ok thanks for your answer !
but… how to try the midi editing functions ? :frowning:
I’ve got ardour 2.8.5 and there’s no midi editor.

correct. ardour 2.X has no midi editing. this is a new feature for ardour3 and we are not (yet) ready for testers. we will announce it when we are.
