I get this error when compiling ardour 2.8.7 on ubuntu 9.10 :

$ scons

I was able to build earlier 2.8.x versions on the same machine.

Anybody had this issue?

@zaboomafoo: there have been no changes to the glibmm source tree included in ardour in a long, long time.

that is strange … exactly the same command compiles fine in 2.8.4 source. 2.8.7 gives me the error. I see the source did not change … compiler options are the same, not sure what is causing the error.

Actually, just found this:

ardour-2.8.7$ diff libs/glibmm2/glibmm/main.h …/ardour-2.8.4/libs/glibmm2/glibmm/main.h
486c486
< pri~ate:

private:

Syntax error … or file got corrupted somehow?

Hi zaboomafoo,

did you solve the issue already?

I compile ardour v2.8.7 on xubuntu v9.10 and it works fine (thank you paul!).

I have installed libglibmm-2.4-dev and libglibmm-2.4-1c2a

My command for the ardour specific dependencies is

sudo apt-get install scons build-essential libjack-dev libasound2-dev libglib2.0-dev liblrdf0-dev libboost-dev liblo0-dev libgnomecanvas2-dev libsamplerate0-dev libaubio-dev lv2core fftw3-dev

Greetings,
Michael

I changed pri~ate to private in libs/glibmm2/glibmm/main.h and compilation went fine, no issues after that.

I am still not sure how come that one character was changed in the file … I simply downloaded the tar file with sources and uncompressed it. I will try to uncompress it again and see if this happens again.

Frank
