Instructions for Building on Linux
|
|
|
|
Fuller instructions that cover:
|
|
* Upgrading to gcc 4.9 on older Ubuntus
|
|
* Optional libraries
|
|
can be found on our wiki at http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux.
|
|
|
|
In fact for Audacity 2.4.0 you should read those
|
|
instructions rather than these ones, since we switched to
|
|
CMake for building Audacity itself for 2.4.0
|
|
|
|
Some prerequisites:
|
|
|
|
- Audacity requires gcc 4.9 or later to build.
|
|
|
|
- CMake ( http://www.cmake.org/ ) is required to build the local copy of
|
|
the libsoxr resampling library used by Audacity.
|
|
|
|
On a modern Debian distro, e.g. Ubuntu 16.04 (bionic), you would do:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake
|
|
|
|
- libasound and gtk are required. Having gtk2 and gtk3 too
|
|
may not be required, but compilation works if both are.
|
|
|
|
- Auto-tools are also needed.
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgtk-3-dev
|
|
sudo apt-get install autoconf automake
|
|
|
|
- Since you will be fetching code from git repositories you
|
|
will need git.
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install git git-gui gitk
|
|
|
|
|
|
wxWidgets:
|
|
|
|
1) Clone wxWidgets and checkout 3.1.3 from the Audacity fork of the
|
|
wxWidgets project:
|
|
https://github.com/audacity/wxWidgets/....
|
|
|
|
for example
|
|
mkdir ./wxWidgets
|
|
cd ./wxWidgets
|
|
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/audacity/wxWidgets/
|
|
|
|
Don't be tempted to use Widgets already installed on Linux because this
|
|
will typically be a different version and will cause problems.
|
|
|
|
IF you forgot the --recurse-submodules, you can correct that later by:
|
|
git submodule update --init
|
|
|
|
2) Follow instructions for building at
|
|
https://github.com/audacity/wxWidgets/blob/v3.1.3/docs/gtk/install.txt
|
|
|
|
So...
|
|
|
|
mkdir buildgtk
|
|
cd buildgtk
|
|
../configure --with-gtk
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
3) Having got this far, it is well worth trying out building some wxWidgets
|
|
examples to confirm that building has worked OK
|
|
|
|
Audacity:
|
|
|
|
These are old instructions. See our wiki and use
|
|
CMake for 2.4.0 and later, rather than as here automake.
|
|
|
|
1) Create a 'build' subdirectory under Audacity and change to it.
|
|
|
|
2) Now to build Audacity itself.
|
|
Using a build directory (and .. in the command) keeps source and object files
|
|
in separate directories.
|
|
|
|
../configure --with-lib-preference="local system"
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
make install # as root
|
