Problem compiling ardour-0.99.3...

Installation & Configuration Linux
#1

I’m trying to compile ardour-0.99.3 on Fedora core 3.

I’m running kernel.org linux-2.6.16.11 (but am willing to change this if needed).

I have installed the following so far to try to satisfy ardour’s requirements.

scons-0.96.92
fftw-3.1.1
libsndfile-1.0.16
libsamplerate-0.1.2
jack-audio-connection-kit-0.101.1
flac-1.1.2
libvorbis-1.1.2
libogg-1.1.3
speex-1.0.5
vorbis-tools-1.1.1
raptor-1.4.9
liblrdf-0.4.0
ladspa_sdk
alsa-driver-1.0.11.
(configured like: ./configure --with-kernel /home/scameron/linux-2.6.16.11 --with-build /lib/modules/2.6.16.11/build )

alsa-lib-1.0.11

(Yeah, a couple of those have nothing to do with ardour… it is just a list of sound related things I installed today.) Now, trying to build ardour, it complains:

Searching around I see someone says here:

that this can be gotten past (though it’s ardour2) by installing asound-dev.

Well, all my google-fu can’t seem to find this asound-dev package. Turns up zillions of hits for “asound” but none are what I’m looking for.

Thanks for any help,

So, no, I don’t. Because I can’t find them.

Also, when building from source, rather than blindly installing a bunch of rpms, it’s not always clear what the “development packages” are when they are in source form – “make install” often puts the header files and such that you need into place – or not – it’s really hard to tell sometimes. Well, I’ll keep beating on it.

Well, this comment didn’t land where I expected it to. It was supposed to be in reply to the question asking if I had the devel packages installed.
