Audacity compile problems

Hello,

I am having problems compiling Audacity 1.0.0 on both a SuSE 8.0 and a Slackware 8.1 system. I ran configure using ./configure --with-arts-soundserver --with-id3. If I don't touch the Makefile or any of the source, the compile fails with this error message:

snd/audioarts.c:14: kde/artsc/artsc.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [obj/snd/audioarts.c.o] Error 1

artsc.h does exist. In fact, copies of it live at /opt/kde2/include/artsc/artsc.h and at /opt/kde3/include/artsc/artsc.h on the SuSE box. On the Slackware laptop, I get the same message although artsc.h is at /opt/kde/include/artsc/artsc.h.

Changing the Makefile to add -I/opt/kde3/include or -I/opt/kde3/include/artsc in the 'CFLAGS=' line results in the same error message (on both machines).

Changing line 14 of snd/audioarts.c from "#include <kde/artsc/artsc.h>" to "#include </opt/kde3/include/artsc/artsc.h>" or "#include <artsc/artsc.h>" results in the following error message:

/usr/i486-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lartsc
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [audacity] Error 1

I know that questions like this (not finding includes) have come up before, but I don't remember how they were answered.

Since this happens on both the SuSE and the Slackware system, I am pretty sure this is caused by either something the SuSE system and the Slackware system have in common or a fault in the audacity source.

BTW, I did install Audacity from the SuSE 8.0 CDs. I tries to launch and then seems to die silently. At least, there was nothing written to the console when it went. Guess I should check /var/log/messages the next time I try to launch it.

A related question: Has anyone on the list developed a successful method for transferring music from LPs to CDs? That is actually the task I was trying to perform when all this started. I have tried gramofile, but it only recorded one channel and playback was at the wrong speed. I have not had time for any tweaking.

Cheers,
Sean

Find the artsc library. If you haven't it installed then you have to download the package that contains it (I don't know which is).

Then use the -L switch in LDFLAGS, so as to contain the directory of the artsc lib. Your gcc command line should be something like:

% gcc ... -L/path/to/libartsc -lartsc ...

I did have /opt/kde3/include/artsc in the Makefile's CFLAGS line. Unfortunately, that wasn't what ld was looking for. But, your email jogged my memory about a problem I had had compiling a program I wrote that used libm. The line that mentions -lartsc means that ld is looking for libartsc.[oa]. That was actually in /opt/kde3/lib. So, what I had to do was add -l/opt/kde3/lib to the Makefile's LIBS line. That worked to get it to compile. So far, I haven't gotten it to work yet though. I tried calling audacity in the compile directory and it exited with a seg fault. I am going to try doing a make install as root and see if that fares any better.
