David, I am trying to build Ardour 2.0 on a Zenwalk 4.4.1 Linux system with gcc-3.4.6 For Ardour 2.0, I need the following dependencies: 1. gcc/g++ 3.x or above 2. scons 0.96 or above 3. python (2.3.4 or above) 4. gettext 0.12.1 or above 5. pkg-config 0.20 or above 6. libtool 7. JACK 0.100 or later ( libjack) 8. XML2 9. XSLT 10. libart_lgpl 2.3.16 or later (libart, libart_lgpl ) 11. samplerate 0.1.2 or later (libsamplerate) 12. raptor (libraptor, libraptor1) 13. lrdf ((librdf, librdf0) 14. glib 2.10 or above (libglib2, libglib2.0, libglib2.0-0 ) 15. GTK+ 2.8 or above (plus other GTK requirements like Pango, ATK, Cairo) (libgtk2, libgtk2.0, libgtk2.0-0) 16. libgnomecanvas (libgnomecanvas2, libgnomecanvas2-0) 17. liblo (liblo, liblo0) 18. boost (libboost) (I downloaded boost from boost.org and copied the bjam executable to /usr/local/bin/bjam) 19. glib2-devel I have compiled and installed all of the above, (except for boost), and installed bjam. I didn't understand the configuration of bjam, so I skipped that, (maybe that is part of my problem), and I am running the following command from a root terminal in the boost_1_33_1 directory: bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc" install And I am not using minGW. I don't think I have it compiled because I have gcc-3.4.6 and didn't think I had to use anything else. So....by the looks of the mingw-tools link you sent me, it looks like it is for Windows, I'm on a Linux box. Douglas
