#120 Can't Compile guitarix-0.42.1 on Linux Mint 20

[Anonymous]

Trying to compile latest on Linux Mint 20. When doing ./waf configure there were many depedencies that crapped out, but I worked my way on this one by one until I hit jackd1 and jackd2. jackd is installed, but if I try to add jackd1, it wants me to remove jackd2.

What is leading me to want to install newer version, is that Guitarix:gx_head (0.39.0) isn't able to send its output (with effects to something else e.g. Audacity). The issue may not be a Guitarix issue, but figured I would try installing a newer version.

This is what I have installed now (installed from the repos)

How do I get the latest and greatest?

You need to install the development package for jackd.
In your case it should be libjack-jackd2-dev
Same goes for maybe other missing dependency's, look for a package matching loosely the name and end with -dev

Worked my way through the dependencies. There were a lot that I eventually had to find and install. Finally I got to the next step in the building process and got stuck here:

BTW, here's a list of everything I had to install dependency wise.

Seems like a issue with the faust version.
Please run./waf cleanto clean up the sources, then do ./waf configure --prefix=/usr --optimization --no-faust
the --no-faust configure flag avoid the use of faust to build guitarix.

Thank you. That worked.
