- HOW TO BUILD ARDOUR FROM SOURCE
- -------------------------------
-
-Please: before you do anything else, take a moment to go and join the
-ardour-dev mailing list (members only). It is very important that the
-community of people using, testing and developing this software are on
-the list, and I will NOT deal with questions relating to Ardour's
-compilation or bugs that are not sent to that list. See
-http://ardour.org/ for details on joining the mailing list.
-
-You can also get in touch with developers and users on IRC. Joining
-#ardour at irc.freenode.net. The core developers and several key users
-hang out here on IRC, at pretty much any hour of the night or day.

-COMPILING
-------------
-
-Please ensure that before attempting to compile Ardour, you have
-installed:
-
-* Tools:
-
- gcc/g++ 3.x or above
- scons 0.96 or above
- gettext 0.12.1 or above
- pkgconfig 0.8.0 or above
- http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/
-
- lex and yacc are also required.
- any version of bison >= 1.35 should work fine.
- intltool try 0.32 or above
-
-* Libraries:
-
-Recommended versions, where applicable, are shown under the general
-requirement.
-
- JACK 0.99.50 (CVS or snapshot release) (http://jackit.sourceforge.net)
-
- libxml2 2.5.X (http://xmlsoft.org/)
-
- libart_lgpl 2.3.X
-
- - available as part of gnome-libs, which you may already
- have on your system.
-
- - also available via download from GNOME source FTP sites.
- - see ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/MIRRORS.html
- and then follow to sources/libart_lgpl
-
- Glib 2.6 (http://www.gtk.org)
-
- GTK+ 2.6 (http://www.gtk.org)
-
- libglade2 (http://www.gnome.org/)
- unsure of minimum version. XXX todo.
-
- libsndfile (http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/)
- libsndfile-1.0 or higher
-
- libsamplerate (http://www.mega-nerd.com/SRC/)
- libsamplerate 0.0.13 or higher
-
- the LADSPA SDK (http://www.ladspa.org/)
- (See below)
-
- raptor (http://librdf.org/raptor/)
-
- lrdf (needs raptor) (http://plugin.org.uk/lrdf/)
- liblrdf 0.4.0 or higher (earlier versions will
- causes crashes when using plugin presets)
-
-Getting LADSPA
----------------
-
-The Linux Audio Developers Simple Plugin API (LADSPA) really only
-consists of a header file, which is already included in the Ardour
-source tree.
-
-However, you may want the plugins that come the "full" LADSPA "SDK",
-so go ahead and download the whole package (it's not big) from
-www.ladspa.org.
-
-I would also recommend getting Steve Harris' excellent set of LADSPA
-plugins from http://plugin.org.uk/. They make Ardour into a truly
-useful application. Other LADSPA plugins will be appearing - be sure
-to watch the Linux Audio Development mailing list for announcements.
-
-2A) COMPILING FROM CVS
----------------------
-
-Checkout the source from Ardour CVS (the `%' here is meant to be your
-shell prompt):
-
-% cd /usr/local/src # just an example, it can be anywhere
-% cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@ardour.org:/cvsroot/ardour login
- # you will need to contact
- # paul at linuxaudiosystems dot com
- # to get the passphrase. See
- # http://ardour.org/download.html
- # for details on why this is.
-% cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@ardour.org:/cvsroot/ardour -z3 co ardour
-
-2B) COMPILING FROM A TARBALL
-----------------------------
-
-As usual, fetch and unpack the tarball. The directory it creates,
-ardour-<version>, is referred to below as "$AD".
-
-3) HOW TO COMPILE
------------------
-
-We use the wonderful scons build system, which is started by just typing:
-
- scons
-
-in the top level directory of the ardour source tree.
-
-To speed things up, on a uniprocessor system, use "scons -j2", and on
-an SMP system try "scons -j3", which will do a parallel build
-(constructing more than one thing at a time).
-
-If you want to build ardour so that it can be debugged, you may wish
-to use the DEBUG=yes option. Without it, ardour is built with
-extreme optimization turned on and the result cannot be debugged
-effectively.
-
-If you don't want the installation to happen in the "usual place", add
-a PREFIX=/my/preferred/prefix option to scons.
-
-Compilation takes a while. Running with scons -j3 on a dual PII-450,
-the entire build takes about 20 minutes, about the same time with
-scons -j2 on 2.6GHz P4.
-
-Other scons options can be discovered using "scons --help"
