Has anyone looked at this? I have the same problem. The ebuild is supposed to build audacity-help.htb but it doesn't. I built audacity manually with the --with-help option to see what the issue might be, but without success. There's a rule in the makefile to build the help, but it bombs, even after a full build. # make audacity-help.htb make: *** No rule to make target `help/wxhelp/*', needed by `audacity-help.htb'. Stop. audacity is such an elegant piece of work that it's a shame that the help file is missing. It looks as if audacity 1.1.3 is rather an interim version. The stable version is 1.0.0 and CVS is up to 1.2.0-pre4. Both of these have the helpfiles in the source tarball but 1.1.3 does not, if the gentoo source is the same as the upsteam source. There are other bugs (the docking toolbars dissapear when one undocks them). 1.2.0-pre4 has bugs in the configure scripts at this moment, but the source root makefile can be used to build the help docs for either 1.0.0 or 1.2.0-pre4. A temporary workaround for this problem might be to extract the help file tree from 1.0.0 and apply it to 1.1.3 as a patch. Alternatively, gentoo devs might wait until the upstream devs have their versions of autoconf straightened out and use 1.2.0, which I got to compile with a little finagling and which looks very nice! (the docking toolbars work). End users wanting audicity-help.htb can get the v.1.0.0 tarball from sourceforge, build the help file and manually copy it to any convenient location such as /usr/share/doc/audacity. |
