audacity fails to compile: "vtable for wxFileProto'

[agrypa1]

HI,
I am trying to compile audacity 1.2.1 on an i686 machine. Audacity ebuild failed on firrst run because wxGTK had unicode support compiled in. After removal of the flag from wxGTK it audacity started to compile but stopped right here:

Does my machine lack anything to finish compiling audacity?

thanks for giving out a helping hand...

I found in redhat's bugzilla.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/sh ... ?id=154958

They say that is wxGTK2 GCC4 error and post a fix

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/at ... ?id=113274

I'm trying it.

[ebray187]

Same problem here. I'm using GCC-3.4.4.

[Odd_Bloke]

Exactly the same problem here and I'm using GCC 3.4.4. I'd also note that the RedHat fix is for wxGTK-2.4.2 whereas the current Gentoo stable version is wxGTK-2.6.2 in addition to the fact that it is several months old.

In additon, the Audacity forums note that 1.2.x versions require wxGTK-2.4.2 (which is probably worth checking).

[cdauth]

Having the same problem here. According to http://groups.google.de/group/linux.gen ... um=1&hl=de, wxGTK should be emerged with the USE flags “-gtk2 -unicode wxgtk1”. Gonna try this now.

EDIT:
Didn’t work for me.

[techyoda]

Any luck anyone? I am having the exact same problem. Strangely, Audacity would compile before I re-emerged wxGTK with the -gtk2 wxgtk1 use flags... But then I had problems with menus in Audacity. What's the deal?

[zaxor]

I have the same errors too, with gtk2 -unicode, and with -gtk2 -unicode too

[richiefrich]

I have the same error with audacity and dvdstyler, if someone that has this same problem just try to (emerge dvdstyler) I bet you'll get the same result

[ebray187]

Some weeks ago I made a packages cd, audacity and wxGTK have the same USE flags (-unicode -gtk2 wxgtk1). But then it could compile without problems. So I emerge wxGTK from the binary (emerge -k).
Then I compile audacity and works fine! So I think its something with wxGTK.
Somebody reported this to bugzilla?

(Sorry for my bad english)

[richiefrich]

I tried what ebray187 said still didn't work for me anyway

USE="-unicode -gtk2 wxgtk1" emerge -k wxGTK
emerge audacity

I noticed that many other people are having a similar problem.
Some are telling to remove gtk2 or unicode from USE.
A patch exists, but it's already used by gentoo since wxGTK2.2.4-r3

There is a text message when you install wxGTK:

Code: Select all

 * New in >=wxGTK-2.4.2-r2:
 * ------------------------
 * You can now have gtk, gtk2 and unicode versions installed
 * simultaneously. Use wxgtk1 if you would like a gtk1 lib.
 * Put gtk2 and unicode in your USE flags to get those
 * additional versions.
 * NOTE:
 * You can also get debug versions of any of those, but not debug
 * and normal installed at the same time.

So I tried with wxgtk instead of gtk2 :

Code: Select all

USE="-unicode -gtk2 wxgtk1" emerge =x11-libs/wxGTK-2.4.2-r4

But without success.

Any idea ?

[Section_8]

I applied the patch from this bug:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123323
and that fixed it on my box.

[halfgaar]

Same problem here for audacity. First it complained about wxGTK being compiled with unicode (which I had to do for some other package BTW, I believe it was some other wx-something package that insisted on it). After disabling it, and setting audacity to -gtk2, I got this compile error. Is there a fix that doesn't involve manual patching? The bug-tracker is down right now, so I can't even check what the fix is, but I suspect it involves patching things manually, which I don't like. Perhaps one of the unstable versions of audacity works? It's not as if the current stable is very stable...

Since my long-overdue upgrade session, which included upgrading to GCC 3.4, nothing is going smoothly anymore. One package after another fails for some reason or other. I'm beginning to get very annoyed by this.

[richiefrich]

Section_8 got it man
Thank, that patch worked on my box as well.

Thanks

[mointrigue]

Oh man, thanks so much for pointing the way to this patch, Section8! I just installed Gentoo about a week ago and this bug was driving me up the wall.

[richardash1981]

So to summaries, if audacity or any other wx app fails with a compile error, then try re-building wxGTK first - it's very sensitive to GTK+ changes in a way that revdep-rebuild doesn't seem to pick up.
