Building Ardour 5.x


cd $AD
git clone git://git.ardour.org/ardour/ardour.git
cd $AD/ardour
      

OR If building from a source tarball, unpack it

cd $AD
tar xf /where/you/put/the/src/tarball
cd ardour-<VERSION>
      

Now, the build

./waf configure
./waf
      

You do not need to install in order to use your new build of Ardour. 
You can run it from within the build tree:

cd gtk2_ardour
./ardev
	  

To install the results:

./waf install
	  

To uninstall:

./waf uninstall
	  

To clean up results of a build (objects, libraries, etc) use

./waf clean
	  

Creating an Application Bundle

Ardour is distributed by ardour.org in the form of "bundles", 
which are nothing more than a directory tree which contain everything the app needs to run.

cd tools/linux_packaging
./build --public --strip some
./package --public --singlearch
      

You now have a functioning binary bundle, in the form a .tar file.
