Scons not complains about old libportaudio-dev (<19)

Hi damores,

Are you following the guide on our wiki?
http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/compiling_on_linux

<http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/compiling_on_linux>It looks from your
compiler output that you're missing the PortAudio development headers. You
can install these by doing:

sudo apt-get install portaudio19-dev

Cheers,
RJ Ryan

[damores (diego-amores)]

Thanks for the quick reply Ryan. Didn't follow the wiki guide, just the README file.

Apparently I had installed libportaudio-dev (which looks like an older version) instead of portaudio19-dev. So scons didn't complain while checking dependencies, but compilation failed aftwerwards.

Anyway, working like a charm now!

[RJ Skerry-Ryan (rryan)]

A lot of people get tripped up by old portaudio so we should detect and complain.

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

We have removed scons in 2.3

Mixxx now uses GitHub for bug tracking. This bug has been migrated to:
