That's fine. Thanks for answering anyway.

Fine. That helped. If time permits, I would appreciate, if this hint
could be added to the build instructions.

Another valuable hint would be to run ./waf --help, which provides build
options. For me, it was good to configure with
--with-backends=jack,alsa,dummy

Thanks again. Ardour is really a great program.

Regards
Ingo
