#ARDOUR GITHUB INSTALL#

It does help with 'installation' because the pkg-config file goes to a known location even if the installation is somewhere non-standard.

That process has to work more or less identically for our linux, macOS and mingw/windows builds (we x-compile for windows).Ĭonsequently, even if there's a pkg-config file and even if it's contents are correct, none of that addresses (1) the version of the library (2) the compile time flags for the library (3) actually downloading the library (4) actually compiling and linking it. F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform.

So for our release builds, and for some of our developers, we need to start from the source code, build the library using flags we provide (because we know what we want and what we're doing), install the library (somewhere) and only then set about using it from within our project. Many Git commands accept both tag and branch names, so creating this branch may cause unexpected behavior. It seems like an Ardour problem but it still works perfectly at 48k. A tag already exists with the provided branch name. Ardour is Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS). We don't really want a package manager per se, because we're cross-platform, and package managers for compiled libraries are almost certainly going to be platform specific. GitHub collection of them, I dont know if I can share it). Ardour is a professional, full-featured hard disk recorder and Digital Audio Workstation (DAW).

If a library (either as source, or as a compiled package) provides a (correct) pkg-config file, then using that library from within a project is pretty easy, assuming the build system knows how to use pkg-config files (we use waf, and it does).īut if the library doesn't provide a pkg-config file, or provides a broken one (yep, that happens), then we either have to create one or use a different method to tell the build system where to find and how to use the library. Let's make the comparison with pkg-config.
