Bug 27804 – Audacity 1.1.3 compilation failed (maybe wxGTK error)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX

[Description Jaakko Holster 2003-09-02 15:41:28 UTC]

Emerging Audacity 1.1.13 fails due to compilation error. As said in bug reports of previous 
version of Audacity, re-emerging wxGTk with USE='-gtk2' do not solve the problem.

For me it does compile and install, with USE=-gtk2.

The problem is that it DOES build with gtk2, and the result is very poor. Many controls are invisible, and those that work are extremely difficult to use. I have to essentially blindly click around to find some options on that left toolbar thing with the mute and solo and... whatever is above it.

Anybody home?

[Comment 3 Jaakko Holster 2003-09-08 23:42:57 UTC]

It fails also with USE=-gtk2:

Has anybody tried this with 1.2.0-pre1 (not in Portage yet, it seems)?

[Comment 5 FieldySnuts 2003-09-19 19:16:15 UTC]

Nah. I'm not going to mess with anything outside of portage. I hope this is fixed one day, but it looks like it isn't being seriously worked on.

[Comment 6 Nick Hadaway 2003-10-17 21:13:24 UTC]

This is definitely being seriously worked on.  grrr.

Here is the deal.

If you compile wxGTK with gtk2 enabled... and then change to -gtk2 and compile
audacity... it will fail... 

It WILL work if you have -gtk2 set when compiling both wxGTK and audacity.

The 1.2.0-pre series has not been added to portage due to the fact that the
vst plugin licensing isn't worked out yet.  When 1.2.0 is released (which
should be soon now) it'll be added to portage and I am hoping that they have
the background details worked out by then.

The problem with gtk2 has been acknowledged upstream with the 1.1.x and prior
series.  From what I understand the 1.2.x series will be compatible with
a gtk2 enabled wxGTK build.
