Compilation and install instructions for GNU/Linux
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Download wxWidgets. Audacity 2.1.3 requires wxWidgets 3.0.x, preferably 3.0.2,
|
|
|
|
|
which can be obtained from:
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/download/v3.0.2/wxWidgets-3.0.2.tar.bz2 .
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Don't be tempted to use the Widgets version already installed on Linux because
|
|
|
|
|
this will cause problems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The libsndfile library is also required and is included in Audacity obtained
|
|
|
|
|
from GitHub. Obtain the latest Audacity alpha development source code from
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/audacity/audacity then use the green "Clone or download"
|
|
|
|
|
button to git clone Audacity. You may need to install git first.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are not planning to do any development, you may be better to download
|
|
|
|
|
the Audacity 2.1.3 release minimal source tarball from
|
|
|
|
|
http://www.audacityteam.org/download/source/ .
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CMake ( http://www.cmake.org/ ) is required to build the local copy of
|
|
|
|
|
the libsoxr resampling library used by Audacity, unless you install
|
|
|
|
|
libsoxr-dev and use that system library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation of other libraries is optional, see:
|
|
|
|
|
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Developing_On_Linux#optional .
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you install libraries using a package management system like Apt or RPM,
|
|
|
|
|
you need to install the "dev" (development) packages for each library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compile wxWidgets with the default gtk2 option, not with gtk3:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Install wxWidgets (this defaults to installation in /usr/local/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
make install # as root
|
|
|
|
|
ldconfig # as root
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The root command is often sudo on GNU/Linux, for example 'sudo make install'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then to compile and install Audacity:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-07-24 19:35:21 +00:00
|
|
|
./configure -with-lib-preference="local system"
|
2017-06-12 20:42:42 +00:00
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
make install # as root
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To see the compile-time options you can set, type
|
|
|
|
|
./configure --help
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to do any development, you might want to generate a configure cache
|
|
|
|
|
and header dependencies:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./configure -C
|
|
|
|
|
make dep
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
