Arch Linux User Repository

This package will automatically retrieve and build the latest development snapshot of Ardour from git.

It does not need to be updated on every release, so please do not flag out of date unless the build breaks.

@Terence: Now I can reproduce the error. Added the prepare function as suggested. Thanks.

@SpotlightKid Here it is: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-themes-extra/-/blob/master/themes/Adwaita/gtk-2.0/gtkrc

from https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/gnome-themes-extra/

@Terence: I can't reproduce this error. ardour6 start normally, even if I put gtk-color-scheme = "text_color:white" in my ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file, as specified in the bug report.

Can you post RC file, which triggers the phenomenen for you?

Hey can you include the prepare() function from the community repo? At least

 # unsetting gtk2 rc (FS#54389)
  sed -e '8iexport GTK2_RC_FILES=/dev/null' -i gtk2_ardour/ardour.sh.in

Otherwise I can't launch Ardour.

@SpotlightKid: there you go - thanks for the hand ;-)

@Gimmeapill: Here's the diff for an updated PKGBUILD. If you add me as a co-maintainer I'll push it.

• Run waf with Python 3 and drop 'python2' from makedepends
• Add 'libwebsockets' and 'cwiid' to makedepends and optdepends

@mattpepin: Thanks for the heads up, however I can still not update as I have no access to my dev box. As mentioned previously, if anyone has an updated pkgbuild and want to step in, please send it and I'll add you as co-maintainer, that will be the fastest.

Ardour 6 RC1 adds a websocket control surface that depends on libwebsockets:

@FlyingWombat: Thanks for the heads up but I can't update right away as I don't have my arch box around (for who knows how long...). In you have an updated pkgbuild and want to step in, please send it and I'll add you as co-maintainer, that will be the fastest.

Waf has been updated; it runs on python3.
