With mingw on Windows it was fairly easy to compile.
#Ardour 4windows code#
If some bugs come out, they can only help straightening the code and make the build more portable. But at the end, mingw is Arch, so there is no issue with a native compilation. I don’t mean to offend anyone, but just hope I can give new ideas and contribute.Īhms, I think you mean cross-compiling on Linux. But issues with compilation, program obfuscation, bloating, only go against the product. See the strengths of Ardour and build on those. You need to create added value, like a website where people can publish and share loops, libraries, etc. I suggest you opt for another business model. This also does not add to the idea of a stable software. It is obviously severely bloated with a ton of libraries and dependencies and doesn’t easily compile (aside your nightly, of course). Who wants to work, and loose all his work with next version?Īside of that, the idea is that Ardour is bloat/crapware. But this adds to the idea of instability and non retro compatibility of Ardour. But that was a year ago, so perhaps you fixed that. A project that I saved with Ardour 5 was not usable in Ardour 6. My thought, after working a bit with Ardour and considering the lack of support, is that version 6 is not readily compatible in the format. And you anyway state that a developer needs to go through the compilation process, which is just what I did, but you are just not open to accept new developers - even if they are at no charge. Obviously, this would not be a good news for you, but that’s just the outcome of your attitude. Maybe there is a more friendly community somewhere else. As I’m getting no support and find you guys bouncing back and never supportive, I - like others - feel the need to publish and straighten things up, and maybe even make a working fork of Ardour.
I myself support Ardour’s model, but only till it becomes opaque. Not everybody is here to prey on your source of revenue. Paul, Ardour will always have 2.5 developers if you don’t accept contributions. The native mingw port has the most updated packages and libraries, and it would be really nice to have a cutting edge Ardour. I hope I can be useful, it was quite an effort to get Ardour compiled right. The backends are in the right path too, so they are also not seen. Thus, I guess that the first error impairs Ardour’s ability to see the following dlls, and then we have a catastrophic fault. There was a similar issue with ladspa ( ).Īfter this, Ardour cannot read the following dlls, despite they are exactly there in the specified path. Now, the no descriptor error seems to be a bug in the code. It should never happen.)”, I notice a few errors if I launch it from a DOS console:Īrdour: : ControlProtocolManager: module “F:\a\usr\src\ardour6\lib\ardour6\surfaces\ardourcp.dll” has no descriptor function.Īrdour: : ‘protocol_descriptor’: The specified procedure could not be found.Īrdour: : ControlProtocolManager: cannot load module “F:\a\usr\src\ardour6\lib\ardour6\surfaces\ardour_contourdesign.dll” (‘F:\a\usr\src\ardour6\lib\ardour6\surfaces\ardour_contourdesign.dll’: The specified module could not be found.)Īrdour: : ControlProtocolManager: cannot load module “F:\a\usr\src\ardour6\lib\ardour6\surfaces\ardour_push2.dll” (‘F:\a\usr\src\ardour6\lib\ardour6\surfaces\ardour_push2.dll’: The specified module could not be found.)Īrdour: : AudioEngine: cannot load module “F:\a\usr\src\ardour6\lib\ardour6\backends\jack_audiobackend.dll” (‘F:\a\usr\src\ardour6\lib\ardour6\backends\jack_audiobackend.dll’: The specified module could not be found.)Īrdour: : AudioEngine: cannot load module “F:\a\usr\src\ardour6\lib\ardour6\backends\portaudio_callback_backend.dll” (‘F:\a\usr\src\ardour6\lib\ardour6\backends\portaudio_callback_backend.dll’: The specified module could not be found.)Īrdour: : Loading default ui configuration file F:\a\usr\src\ardour6\share\ardour6\default_ui_config Ardour cannot run (This is a build/packaging/system error. Before submitting bug requests, I thought to see here if somebody has some ideas.Īside the window that says, “No audio/MIDI backends detected. I see some errors that seem to imply some bug in the code. Now the issue is when the executable is launched. I had complete success at compiling, so I made a webpage with all the steps to reproduce. I might think to be a candidate for Windows supportĪnyway, this end of the year I am back at compiling Ardour on Windows natively, with mingw.
