Audacity 3.2.1 and libraries

Audacity 3.2.1

Tried arm64 and x86_64 both available for download.  The libraries are available in FAT binaries; works great.

Install shtool manually:

 --annoying of MacPorts to drop shtool?  brew has a formula

In /Users/b____/Documents/builds/ffmpeg_src/ffmpeg-4.4

./configure

WARNING: pkg-config not found, library detection may fail.

sudo port install pkgconfig 

./configure
make
sudo make install

The binary will be installed in:

/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

 

Success building ffmpeg but ...

Still no ffmpeg.55.64bit.dylib !?!

Let's wait for Release 3.2

Building Audacity on m1 apple silicon

Don't bother with all the stuff below.  Audacity is now available as an arm64 m1 native binary.  The x86_64 version works great too!  Great work developers!

• install macports for Big Sur 11.5.2
• sudo port install audacity
  
• Success, kind of, version 2.2.2 popped out in glorious Apple Silicon binary but I couldn't get the current 3.0.4.
• pull request BUILDING.md typo, correction:
  

 cmake -GXcode -T buildsystem=1 -Daudacity_use_mad="off" -Daudacity_use_id3tag=off ../audacity

 

• check out audacity source
  

git clone https://github.com/audacity/audacity

•  sudo pip3 install conan   
• activated venv using py-env
• master v3.1.0 failed check out 3.0.4

git clone -b release-3.0.4 --single-branch https://github.com/audacity/audacity

• cmake and Xcode

cmake -GXcode -T buildsystem=1 ../audacity 

open Audacity.xcodeproj

• rm -rf build/*
• run cmake again:

 cmake -GXcode -T buildsystem=1 -Daudacity_use_mad="off" -Daudacity_use_id3tag=off ../audacity

 

 

 DO

 Using python3 venv virtual environment:

• • Python Virtual Environment Setup on Mac OSX - Easiest Way ...
  • Python Virtual Environments: using venv
  • Python 3 using venv
   
   
   

 BLOCKED 

• conan install failing(use py-env)
  
• source blocked for m1 compile; 
• downloaded branch beta 12.2 wxwidget not included
• wxwidget build error
• Xcode does not build master branch 3.1.0 or 3.0.4
• 3.0.4 builds then crashes immediately (Intel)
  

 

First, doing anything on an external USB3 hard drive is painfully slow compared to the blisteringly fast internal ssd.  macports took over an hour to install.

I think macports is finally falling behind since most sites talk about brew (meh). Macports has been working great so far.

I wish m1 virtual machine time was 3cents/hr
