Hello, im trying to build Ardour in a powerbook G4 1ghz /512 ram, with tiger 10.4.11

This is my terminal output:

i have libtool installed, and scons 2.0.1

Thanks

@INSPECTOR77: (a) i generally don’t provide help on OS X builds (b) using macports in conjunction with an ardour build is generally a recipe for disaster.

#3

Ok, seems to be a libtool macport problem, build libtool from source solves the problem.

#4

Just for emphasis…

...using macports in conjunction with an ardour build is generally a recipe for disaster.

It really is.

After some problems now Ardour Builds without problems…with a mix of macports and source packages. (a nightmare!!!)
One question, Its possible to do a universal binary (intel + ppc) from a ppc mac?

Best regards

INSPECTOR77

#6

For distribution purposes, I can pretty well guarantee no builds involving Macports will be accepted(And in many cases likely won’t work).

Could a universal binary be built on PPC? I believe so, with a LOT more work than you have likely done at this stage. All libraries need to be built universal and then both versions of Ardour buuilt and then a FAT binary created, which the current packaging process does not do, but aside from that it is unlikely that all your binaries and libs are universal at this point is my bet.

Thanks seablade, this builds are only for testing purposes…i did it with macports because i had a lot
of problems with the gtk-osx script, the installation always fail when the gtk2 package is building…some quartz problem…that i can´t solve.
Ardour is fastest than mixbus in the same machine, and for the moment my build is very stable.
Now i´m editing the osx_build script to try to build the ardour2.app…without luck for the moment, but i´m learning a lot !!!

@INSPECTOR77: the reason we don’t provide much support (if any) for OS X builds is precisely the sort of problem you are encountering now. We have a very precise, locked down checkout of GTK that we use for all OS X builds - there is no guarantee that GTK will not break on OS X at any time whatsoever. We do not track GTK changes very closely (maybe once every 3-6 months) and so if you simply try to get current GTK you will stand quite a risk of encountering problems that we don’t have and don’t plan to try to fix (because they are in the GTK domain, not ours).

I really do not understand why anyone would want to build Ardour on OS X - the platform is appalling for cross-platform development. I can’t come up with a single reason one might want to do this unless you really plan to start hacking Ardour and even then, that’s much easier to do on Linux than on OS X.

Hi Paul, the main reason to build ardour in osx its only for know if i can do it, only for enjoy and learn, and test the lastest versions; i worked a lot of years with silicon graphis computers, and build programs and encounter a lot of problems was normal jajajajjaja

Thanks for your support and your advices.

Best regards

@INSPECTOR77: building ardour is fun … on linux. building ardour on OS X is just a whole heap of utterly unnecessary and stupid pain. if you want to have fun with building and hacking ardour, seriously, use linux.
