A plus is that the BUILDING.md file gives a command to install the dependencies for building tenacity in Fedora. As they say in the BUILDING.md file, though, fedora lacks wxWidgets 3.1.5 or greater. That stops the configuration, cmake -G Ninja -S . -B build when it errors out. They give a link to the wxWidgets website, so it is possible to compile it and put it in /usr/local, but that seems to be going down the rabbit hole. I might pursue this, even though I don't really do a lot of (any?) sound editing anymore. Just for the challenge. Maybe not. :-) _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
