I’m having some trouble compiling ardour 3. For some reason it is telling me I dont have a dependency which adept tells me I have. Here is the terminal output starting where I have the error:
Checking for pkg-config version >= 0.8.0… yes

You do not have the necessary dependencies required to build ardour
Please consult http://ardour.org/building for more information

Thanks in advance for your help. I’m using kubuntu 8.04 with KDE 3.5 if that helps.
got that fixed. Now I get this error in scones. Not sure to make of it though:

Actually, I thought VST was the problem right now, so I’m not even bothering with compiling it in 3.0 yet. But, now that everything compiles, where is the executable located, so that I can make a shortcut on my desktop to launch 3.0? Thanks again.
When compiling stuff I always recommend using a prefix (in ardours case ‘scons PREFIX=’).
I compile my stuff to /opt/package-name-and-version (like /opt/ardour3-svn4591) and use ‘stow’ to populate /usr/local with symbolic links.
This way it’s easy to remove a compiled package (stow -D and rm -r /opt/whatever) and to switch between different versions of a package.
So, now I have a shortcut. But, now I have a new problem. I try to compile and I get a message about having no changelog, and it wont let me keep building. Here is the output:
Your source does not include revision information.
Please check out the code from a repository or use a properly packaged version!

Tried that already. I think I will just wait to try Ardour 3 until it is finally. I wonder how long it will take for the first non-beta release of ardour3? I don’t care how long it takes, as long as it works well.
Sorry but i get this error only the first time i compiled with
scons FFT_ANALYSIS=1 SLV2=1 VST=1 NLS=1
But it dissapeared, and now im getting this error:

Paul stated in the third comment in this post (had you bothered to look, or use the search function) that Ardour3 and VST isn’t something mere mortals should try to compile (yet anyways).
Remove the VST=1 from the scons line and try again.
If you really need/want VST try dssi and dssi-vst instead and connect it through inserts in Ardour.
almost…
if you tried running scons with VST=1, it will not be enough to just remove that now, because this parameter is written into the ‘scache.conf’ file in the top of your ardour source. so if now you wanna compile without VST you will have to use the VST=0 switch.
Still getting the “invalid covariant return type” error when compiling Ardour 3 with VST (rev. 4649). Is this still something that should not be attempted, even though Ardour is using vestige now?
