OMF Tool

Installation & Configuration Linux
#1

Hi all,

I’m trying to compile the OMF tool thats included in source code as mentioned in this post:

http://lists.ardour.org/pipermail/ardour-dev-ardour.org/2010-February/005858.html

but I’m getting this error:

g++ -o omftool omftool.o loader.o -L…/…/build/default/libs/pbd -lpbd -lsqlite3 -lxml2 -lsndfile
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpbd
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [omftool] Error 1

Can any one help me? I think I need to edit the make file to point to the correct pbd location but I’m not a coder so don’t really know where to start. Thanks for any help you can provide.

#2

Ignore it. It is not maintained, generated only ardour 2.x sessions and fails to work on many/most OMF inputs. It was based on some Reaper code that I didn’t realize till I got it mostly working was known to be completely unreliable.

If you want to handle OMF files, try AATranslator.
