Installation error (probably user error)

[gotsum]

How does an idiot install Saucedacity? (on Linux Mint)

I opened the tar.xz file and put the contents into a folder ... I opened the readme, went to the directory through terminal, then ran " source env_libs.sh "

No confirmation or error message occurred...

Then when I ran " ./saucedacity.x86_64 " I got this message:

"./saucedacity.x86_64: error while loading shared libraries: lib-string-utils.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I can see lib-string-utils.so is in my "lib" folder after all... Thanks in advance!

Oops...my bad :(

I realized that the env_libs.sh doesn't work, so that should

On the other hand, you should try out our AppImage. It's a new addition for this release, although it uses Audacity's wxWidgets instead of CodeLite's wxWidgets. CodeLite's wxWidgets use GTK 3 and use wxWidgets 3.2.0, whereas Audacity's wxWidgets fork uses GTK 2 and uses wxWidgets 3.1.3. So there might be a little trade off, but if you don't mind, you can run the AppImage and everything will be more convenient.

Edit: The AppImage seems a little glitchy theme-wise. You can try it to see if there are any theming issues, but there likely might be as I've experienced those issues.

In terms of installing Saucedacity, unfortunately you can't do much. The best you can do is to copy the files to /usr/local (lib/ in the tarball to /usr/local/lib). You can then copy the .desktop file from the source tree and modify that appropriately. However, you can build the latest stable version of Saucedacity from source and do sudo make install (or, if using Ninja, sudo ninja install). This is the best way at the moment. Hopefully some packages turn out from #21 since there have been discussions of other forms of distribution, namely a Flatpak.

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

You - are - crushing it!

The app works like a charm. All I saw was a (temporary) funny little "wiggle" on the file bar at the bottom of the screen, if that makes sense. Thank you for all your forking amazing work! I really appreciate it.
