[sanus|art]

Try to add repository of http://archive.ematech.fr/ to /etc/apt/sourses.list

Well, I'm trying to install a new version of Ardour with scons, and here's what it says in the end.

In file included from libs/vamp-plugins/plugins.cpp:44:

scons: building terminated because of errors.

What are the vamp-plugins and how do I fix them good?

[sanus|art]

I am not sure, as I've never seen this before - but "vamp-plugins" are parts of some audio analyses systems.

You might be short of this packages:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/...amp-plugin-sdk

[oleksus]

Well, I installed those packages, but when I try to install ardour again it says

WARNING: some VAMP plugins will not be built because this machine has no AUBIO support

and then the same errors I posted before.

What is this AUBIO support, anyway? I have previous version of ardour working on my machine.

EDIT: Well, guess what, I downloaded and installed that AUBIO, but STILL the ardour installation stops at the same thing!

Hi! I am getting the same message, did you manage to find a way to fix it? I was trying to install AUBIO via synaptic, from source and even older versions, nothing worked so far

[sanus|art]

Ok I just have compiled it strait as in the first post - had no troubles at all (Ubuntu Intrepid - 8.10).
Try to run 'sudo apt-get build-dep ardour' before the 'scons VST=1'.

[Ozzman]

hopefully this will help someone in the future..

1. its build-dep not built-dep

2. if you decide not to go through with it and want to remove the 400+mb of files this command helped me

sudo aptitude markauto $(apt-cache showsrc ardour | grep Build-Depends | perl -p -e 's/(?:[\[(].+?[\])]|Build-Depends:|,|\|)//g')

thanks

@oleksus
I had the same problem, installed the "aubio" business from step 3 in the original post and TADA! compile went passed the vamp-plugin stuff.
Hooray for now!

edit: just read your second post. Did you install all the aubio stuff?
