building Ardour3

Hi,

Before trying to build Ardour3, have checked deps and have 2 questions :

libjack0 0.118+svn3796-3 : is it ok instead of 0.118.2 (or more recent) ??

svn co http://subversion.ardour.org/svn/ardour2/branches/3.0 : is it the right place to have the sources

Thanks for reply,
Fred

The first rule about Ardour3: you don’t talk about Ardour3 (until it’s announced as alpha/beta).

That said, download instructions are here : http://ardour.org/download_full
And you can check which version the svn-jack corresponds to by running ‘pkg-config --modversion jack’

Thanks for your quick reply and pkg-config tip,

and sorry to talk about what can be seen here on many pages under the mentionned name !!

It appears 3796-3 is not a winner in that case, I’ll be back…

Is people supposed to run :

./waf configure --build --lv2 ??

and sorry to talk about what can be seen here on many pages under the mentionned name !!

You haven’t seen Fight Club, have you? :slight_smile:
As you can see in those posts, anytime Paul chirps in with a comment it’s usually in the vein of “If you have to ask about how to build A3, you shouldn’t”

I think it’s mentioned in some readme in the source, but anyways - waf is usually invoked as ‘./waf configure ; ./waf build ; ./waf install’ with optional flags.
Try ‘./waf configure --help’ for more info.

I will consider your advice about “if you have to ask…” as a mantra, because when try to uninstall Jack, before build it from source, Synaptic said it will remove about 80% of a 2 years labour, which won’t be a good ~gift in this period.

Or maybe somebody can say it is a way to build a deb package from Jack SVN, and replace the Jack stuff here without deleting almost packages in Synaptic ???

And, hum, don’t like any fight movie :slight_smile: Peace, and thanks again for the Mantra !
