In any case, SoundConverter is just a front-end. Wait for the latest version to be packaged by the experts. If the version in the Hardy repos is not recent enough for you, manually download the.
#Install soundconverter ubuntu code
I'm not a C programmer, but I feel that code must be badly written if it can't compile out-of-the-box on the most common Linux distro. Out of curiosity, I have just tried to compile the source code for versions 1.3.2, 1.4.0, 1.4.1 and 1.2.0. GNUĬhecking for C compiler default output file name.Ĭonfigure: error: C compiler cannot create executablesĪnd config.log seems to be a script of some sort. yesĬhecking for style of include used by make. bin/mkdir -pĬhecking whether make sets $(MAKE). usr/bin/install -cĬhecking whether build environment is sane. configure with:Ĭhecking for a BSD-compatible install. I tried what you suggested earlier, but it fails on.

I know I can't have it both ways - I was hoping that learning to install from the source would be a result of my post! It looks like 1.4.1 has APE support, which seems to be missing from mine, although I can't tell from the changelog in which version it was added. According to (), the latest version for Hardy is 1.0.1 () and the latest for Intrepid is 1.3.2 (). Ubuntu 8.10 “Intrepid Ibex” is about to come out (at the end of the month). If you want to be cutting-edge, and risk instability in order to have the latest everything, then go ahead and learn to install this from source. It is known to work, and will not mess up your system. Is there any particular feature of the latest SoundConverter that you absolutely must have? If not, then simply use the version in the repositories, which people have gone to time and effort to make available to you. It won't make a menu entry, you will have to do it yourself.

The last command will ask for your password and install the program under /usr/local. Let's start the installation: uncompress the tar.gz source fileĮnter the soundconverter-1.4.1 directory compile and install The installation will install all the required packages, which will remain after you uninstall. To be sure, install and then uninstall the soundconverter package in the repos.
Luckily, soundconverter is in python, an interpreted language, so you don't need libraries and compilers, just python which is installed by default (if I remember correctly). Generally when you install from source, you need to have the libraries already installed, along with the compiler.
It seems that Linux is more or less designed for command line use, so is there a way of using dpkg and having it handle dependencies for you? I've tried to install stuff myself and had problems with dependencies (using the command line dpkg, I think), so I used a front end tool instead (the Synaptic one) which worked. These instructions are repeated in a few places on the net:īut that's probably going to get the old version again, isn't it? If I install from the source, is it going to get those other libraries etc?
Is there some standard way of installing files when the source is available? Normally I'd experiment, but I don't want to harm my system. I've unpacked it and tried to run the install-sh file but it's not having it.

It looks like it's only availble in a `here's the source code - compile it yourself` file, but I don't know how to do this. I like the look of the new version, so I've downloaded it from but clearly it's obviously to everyone but me how to install it. I tried installing Sound Convertor using the add/remove tool, but it's installed an old version.
