build ardour on debian lenny

Installation & Configuration Linux
#1

Hi. I’m trying to build ardour 2.7 on my debian lenny. I’ve installed all the required libraries found on the guide but i still get errors from scons

davide@tancredi:~/Apps/ardour-2.7$ scons
scons: Reading SConscript files …
Checking for pkg-config version >= 0.8.0… yes
Checking for gthread-2.0… yes
Checking for lrdf… no
lrdf >= 0.4.0 not found.
You do not have the necessary dependencies required to build ardour

i’ve installed both the librdf0 and librdf0-dev packages.

Can anyone help?

Sorry, the missing library was lillrdf.

#3

Because I had lenny on a coverdisc, the lrdf packages were not available so I downloaded the source code for lrdf and built it - it works fine.

Thanks dude

I was able to fix this by building jack from source. The version in the debian repository is pretty outdated.

Did you have any trouble with scons finding jack?

I’m getting a “jack >= 0.109.0 not found.” error even though ‘jackd -V’ returns " jackd version 0.109.2 tmpdir /dev/shm protocol 22"

Also, it doesn’t look like there is an ardour package for lenny, anyone know why?.
