installing from sources

[stratojaune]

Hi all,

On Fedora 10, I try to build Ardour 3 from sources, and have before to build some libraries from sources too, because they are not in the repos of Fedora and Planet CCRMA.

I do that, and there is no problem, with ./configure, make, make install.

After everything is done, I run scons as the howto from Ardour tells about.

And the return is that some of the things I have builded are not here :-((

I probably have forgotten something like build in a particular directory, but not sure of anything...

If somebody have an idea, it will be appreciate.

Thanks,

Fred

Chances are good that you *can* get the libraries from rpms. (Often you need the -devel package--for example rather than gnutls, you want gnutls-devel).

Also, you *really* have to be more specific. To say "some of the things aren't there," doesn't help people help you. :) What errors do you get?

Also a quick google shows that there's a Fedora 10 ppc build.

http://fr.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/updates/testing/10/ppc/ardour-2.8-1.fc10.ppc.html

I haven't taken it any further (that's your job) :). However, it gives a list of dependencies there and you can try to install most of them through yum.

Actually, I did take it a bit further. From the link above, I clicked on the category, multimedia and such and that took me to another page, where, doing a search for ardour, I see there was a Fedora 8 rpm. You can always try using that one and seeing if it will install.

That's right, devel packages are needed to build, but for the libraries searched I can't find RPM repos with the good versions

Well, sorry for this... here is the error return :

You do not have the necessary dependencies required to build ardour
Please consult http://ardour.org/building for more information

Of course, I have been on Ardour.org, but can't find the answer

Sorry for double post, it was first visit here, promise to not doing again !!

I agree !

Thank you for the tips, but Ardour 3 is not in any repository, due to his dev-time, the only way to test it is to build from SVN sources. Anyway, I'll try to follow your link... But, isn't it a source of problem to mix sources from Fedora 8 and Fedora 10 ??

[scottro]

Sometimes, but often more controllable than using source, because at least, as they're all rpms, the system is aware of them.

Now, you may be able to get sndfile. Trying

yum provides */sndfile

will tell you if some program or another has it.

In this case, on CentOS, I get no matches found. Trying on a Fedora 11 box, I get that it can be found as part of fpc-src. So, you can install fpc-src and hopefully, that will provide sndfile.

(I haven't tested this, as I'm sure you realize--it maybe that fpc-src isn't available in Fedora 10. However, that's the general way to find out what rpm contains some file that you need.).

Thank you Scottro,

you have guess that I'm not really familiar with yum options !

I will try this ASAP

Thanks again,

Fred

Also:I do that, and there is no problem, with ./configure, make, make install.The default PATH to install is: /usr/local, so unless you pass the option './configure --prefix=/usr', your stuff will get installed to non-standard locations, where it will not be found be subsequent './configure ...' commands.

Many thanks Hlinger,

It was the missing option !

Hi all,

There's my firsts steps in Fedora, but not in terminal.

I try to build Ardour 3 from SVN, on Fedora 10 with PlanetCCRMA repos. I've checked all dependencies listed in the Ardour site are present. Have build what is missing. Then I run scons and there's a strange return :

uuid and uuid-devel are seen in Yumex

in /usr/lib/pkgconfig there is an ossp-uuid.pc. It disappears when I delete uuids in Yumex.

I try just to rename ossp-uuid.pc. scons pass the test and start building, but an uuid error stop it !

If somebody have an idea, it will be apreciate...

Thank you,

Fred
