for various reasons I need to keep a 6.5 version of Ardour on a new computer.
I can’t find any detailed info anywhere about compiling older versions on linux.
here: https://ardour.org/building_linux.html
is says to execute git with version at the end, but that always download last version (8 right now).
and I can’t find any tarball for 6.5, on git TAGS are just placeholders with a txt with little info.
can anyone point me to some docs?
I’m familiar with compiling, I just can’t find the correct tarball.
thanks in advance!

There is no such tarball. You will need to clone the git repo, then do:
git checkout 6.5
before compiling.

If you don’t want the entire Ardour repository you can run
git clone --depth 1 --branch 6.5 https://github.com/Ardour/ardour.git
to just get the 6.5 code

Paul Davis:
git checkout 6.5
thanks for the quick answer.
I get now an error: https://text.is/POQ7
this is what I executed:
git clone git://git.ardour.org/ardour/ardour.git
cd ardour/
git checkout 6.5
./waf configure --prefix="/home/muzzol/inst/ardour/6.5/compiled" --cxx11 --optimize
and after the error I launched again with -v
./waf -j 4 -v
and got the error I pasted above.

/usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gatomic.h:131:19:
error: argument 2 of ‘__atomic_load’ must not be a pointer to a ‘volatile’ type
The version of glib installed on your system is too new to work with ancient Ardour 6.5.
This specific issue was addressed in Ardour 6.7 (gcc-11 compat, volatile atomic variables (1/2) · Ardour/ardour@cc7b8b1 · GitHub and some more follow-up commits for later glib versions).
Short of downgrading your system, perhaps build Ardour in a VM using a 5 or 6 year old Linux distro.

ok, I understand.
I’ll try to use an older distro.
thanks a lot for your time.
by the way, I’m a donor (I can’t remember the amount, was long time ago) and I also bought MixBus. do you have old ardour versions precompiled around as you do with new ones?
I just need to keep a 6.* version for a very picky client, sorry about the hassle.

thanks for everything!

I’m a little bit of a compulsive digital hoarder. I have Ardour-6.5.0-x86_64-gcc5.run
from November 2020 that I can temporarily upload to Google Drive or something if @x42 can’t dig one up.

thanks a lot Manuel, Robin already sent me the file.
I just tested it and I’ve been able to open the mix without any problems, I can ditch my old computer.
