Hi,

I would like a copy of Audacity 1.2.6 because it is a stable release, as opposed to 1.3.9.

Does anybody have it as a pet or otherwise? (preferably for Pup 4.3.1)

Thank you,
W

I have the 1.2.6 package from Grafpup 2. I don't remember what wx version it uses, but I'm guessing it was statically compiled.

But I really recommend using 1.3.x. It has been pretty stable for years, and it has the major advantage that it can recover your project if it crashes... although I'm not sure that I have had any crashes with 1.3.x - I certainly have with 1.2.6.

Sorry, no it isn't statically compiled, so you'll need to find a compatible wxgtk somewhere. It might be easier to build a new package instead.

I upxed the binary to make it smaller.

Thanks a lot!

what libs does it need? I'm going to try the same libs as for 1.3.9, that is all I have.

...I cant find wxgtk 2.4 - only later versions.

I presume it should work with a later wxwidgets compiled with wx2.4 compatibility (otherwise I can't see the point of the 2.4 compatibility option).
But it'll also need the other options set right - i.e. no unicode and 2.6 compatibility enabled or disabled to match whatever package that was compiled against... wxwidgets is a real pain.
If you're not up to building your own packages and you insist on using the old audacity the best approach might be to install wxwidgets and audacity from another distro.

Ah, well

guess it's more trouble than it's worth.

I'll have to take your word for it that 1.3x is pretty stable.

Thanks, anyway, Disciple
