Hi,
I've built ardour2 on debian etch following the instructions in:
http://ardour.org/building
It builds without problems but I want to report two things. The first
is a typo in the above page: the sndfile version is >= 1.0.16 not 1.16.
The second thing is that I had to install also libglade2.0-dev
otherwise scons stop building reporting an error. I've installe the
package and re-run scond and the compilation continued without problems.
To install ardour I've run "scons install" from root.
I've not used ardour2 much but I want to report some experience. If
it's the case I can report a proper bug report to mantis.
1) If I start ardour without jack I get the classical error dialog, but
ardour2 segfaults if i click on that dialog.
2) If I start ardour without any .ardour dir in my home ardour segfaults
without any error message:
$ ardour
Ardour/GTK 2.0alpha2
(built using 1.0.2 with libardour 1.0.0 and GCC version 4.1.2
20060814 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-11))

This bug has been reported one time on the mailing list, should I
submit a bug report for it?
3) The last thing involve the theme. Starting ardour without any option
I got an un-themed interface with most text unreadable because with the
same colour of the background. Changing the ARDOUR_UI_RC variable to
point to the patch of the ardour2_ui.rc file in the sources does not
change anything. I get a nice usable interface only if I use the -g
command line options. I should point out that the theme used, isn't my
gtk2 theme, but a theme pretty similar to this:
http://huw.ugbox.net/stuff/ArdourScreenshot.png
The only differeces are:
* the track name of the unselected track is unreadable (black as the
background)
* the tabs on the right are horizontal and with clear background as my
gtk2 theme. However the selected tab's tile is unreadable (the text is
white as the backgroud).
* at the "normal" track height a small portion of the button are cut
(as the track should a bit larger).
Are these known problems or am I experiencing them only on my side?
Tell me I you need further information or want me to submet some bugs.
Cheers,
~ Antonio
