Has anyone tried Ardour 2.4.1 on AMD64 with GCC 4.3 using march=core2?

Installation & Configuration Linux
#1

I’m currently trying to compile Ardour2 on my Core 2 Duo, with GCC 4.3 using the march=core2 option for MOAR POWAAAH!!! But, I have a problem. Ardour2 doesn’t compile with binutils 2.17 and higher, while liblo doesn’t compile with binutils 2.16 on my computer. Ardour installed before, but that was before I recently upgraded the entire toolchain. I upgraded glibc to 2.7, and I can’t downgrade it to test if that is what caused the problem. Even if it was, if I remember correctly, GCC 4.3 doesnt work with less than glibc 2.7. If i compile liblo with binutils 2.17, ardour can’t find it.

Here is what happens during compilation:

#2

nevermind, i think i found a patch: http://tracker.ardour.org/view.php?id=2181

#3

This patch failed to help me get 2.4 built. Not sure where to go next. I assume some libs are outdated but I have no idea what.

#4

what version of glibc are you running? you might have to recompile a ton of dependencies to get it to compile with gcc 4.3 as well. be careful though. i know on gentoo, it doesn’t allow you to downgrade glibc, and somet things that compiled before don’t compile now, such as rosegarden, gtkmm 2.2.12 ( dependency of alsa patch bay), kalarm, mplayerthumbs. it’s still in testing so if you upgrade glibc, test it on a separate install instead of putting it on your live box like i did :frowning:

#5

I’m experiencing exactly the same issue (Gentoo 2008 beta2), was a resolution found or should I go back to gcc 4.1.1 and optimise for nocona instead of core2?

I don’t mind fiddling around a bit as I’ve got a dual booting system with Ubuntu Studio for my production OS and Gentoo Pro-Audio overlay as my “dev” system. Of course my aim is to have a very highly optimised Gentoo (as this is my distro of choice)

BTW I’ve actually updated glibc and am running version 2.7-r2 but still can’t compile ardour…
