Trouble compiling ardour 2.8.16

Installation & Configuration Linux
#1

Having a little trouble getting the source code to install. I downloaded it from the downloads page then followed the link to the manual, which is for ardour 3 and no use for install this code.

after searching google, i found that you need to use scons, which then threw up dependancy problems as expected. I sorted these dependancies and now its complaining about lines in one of the scripts and im stuck.

Also it mentions about lv2 UI not enabled, and theres a couple of librararies that i do have installed that it says i havnt.

oh, the new site design is very nice. But the forum change is horrible (sorry) diffuclt to navigate and the code tags dont seem to work

You don’t have lilv or suil installed correctly then, or you need to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH. The test used to check for them uses pkg-config. So if this command pkg-config --modversion lilv-0 fails in a shell/terminal, it will also fail during the build.

excelent thanks for the reply, ill have read through ardour 3 build instructions, also i know there are options that you can pass to scon for different configurations like building with vst support etc. i dont need vst support but is there anything i should set . I noticed that it also said lv2 not enabled and lv2 gui is not supported. It would be nice to have the proper gui for the calf plug ins. And not the simple gui which is horrizontal bars for everything (instead of the gui that looks like an effect unit)

I looked in synaptic for those librarys and they are there, except there name is slightly different.

Checking for lilv-0… no
Checking for suil-0… no

these are named lilv-0-0 and suil0-0

Theres no dev packages for these.

Running Ubuntu 12.10

which i hate, its unstable, and full of bugs, (im planning on starting a fresh install with ubuntu 12.04)

Oh the code tag was my fault, used the wrong slash in the closing tag.

Thanks again for the help.

Ardour has been a great experience and help to me.

@veda_sticks: ardour3 is about to be released, so the website is moving toward that and away from info on ardour2. the forum issues are just CSS formatting details. your build problem is caused because you do not have glibmm correctly installed. the instructions on building on the Development page apply to ardour2 as well, except for the fact that scons is used for the build and not waf.
