Install the Audio Editor Audacity in CentOS 7

Install the Audio Editor Audacity in CentOS 7

Audacity is an excellent open-source cross-platform Audio Editor. Let's talk about how to compile and install it in CentOS.

Installation started from source code compilation, source code download: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Before installation, read readme.txt under the source code, which will introduce the compilation and installation steps.

It is./configure make install,

The following describes the problems I encountered during compilation:

Error 1. wxGTK-2.8.x dependency missing,./configure with the following error:

1. Checkingforwx-config.../usr/local/bin/wx-config
3. Warning: Noconfigfoundtomatch:/usr/local/bin/wx-config -- unicode = yes -- version

Solution:

Download wxgtk-2.8.x.gz http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/

Compile and install: refer to the wxGTK-2.8.x/docs/gtk/readme.txt under the source code to compile and install

1. Mkdirbuild_gtk
2. Cdbuild_gtk
3. ../Configure # here you need to add the -- enable-unicode option.
4. Make
5. Su <typerootpassword>
6. Makeinstall
7. Ldconfig

Note that the check executed in the configure file of Audacity uses wx-config -- unicode = yes -- version. If you use the preceding compilation directly, the preceding problem still occurs. Therefore, you must add the -- enable-unicode option.

Error 2. libsndfile missing

Configure: error: Audacity requires libsndfile to be enabled
Libsndfile-devel and sudo yum install libsndfile-devel packages must be installed.

Error 3. If cmake is missing, install cmake. sudo yum install cmake

./Configure: line 13: cmake: command not found

Then make & make install.
