AudacityIt 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:

 

[Plain]View plaincopy

1. Checking for wx-config.../usr/local/bin/wx-config
3. Warning: No config found to match:/usr/local/bin/wx-config -- unicode = yes -- version
4. In/usr/local/lib/wx/config
5. If you require this configuration, please install the desired
6. Library build. If this is part of an automatic configuration
7. Test and no other errors occur, you may safely ignore it.
8. You may use wx-config -- list to see all configs available in
9. The default prefix.
11. Configure: Checking that the chosen version of wxWidgets is 2.8.x
12. Configure: error: Unable to locate a suitable configuration of wxWidgets v2.8.x or higher.
13. The currently available configurations are listed below. If necessary, either
14. Install the package for your distribution or download the latest version
15. WxWidgets
16. From http://wxwidgets.org.
18. Default config is gtk2-ansi-release-2.8
20. Default config will be used for output
22. Also available in/usr/local:
23. Gtk2-unicode-3.0

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

 

[Plain]View plaincopy

1. Mkdir build_gtk
2. Cd build_gtk
3. ../Configure # Here you need to add the -- enable-unicode option.
4. Make
5. Su
6. Make install
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.
