I made a SFS file for Tahrpup and tested on Tahrpup 5.8.3, Tahrpup 6.0CE
Slacko 5.6 and 5.7 , Precise 5.7.1

Available download site
audacity-tahr-2.1.sfs 29 mb

audacity-precise-2.1.sfs 25 mb

audacity-2.1-slacko_5.6.sfs 29 mb

foreign languages 2.8 m
(untick box to avoid datafilehost app)
Warning ! It doesn't run on 'Quirkytahr' !

Here is how I made the SFS file for those who like making there own
app packages.

I downloaded from launchpad.net, these three packages.

• audacity-dbg_2.0.5+svn20141223+r8940+28~ubuntu14.04.1_i386.deb
  audacity_2.0.5+svn20141223+r8940+28~ubuntu14.04.1_i386.deb
  audacity-data_2.0.5+svn20141223+r8940+28~ubuntu14.04.1_all.deb

From Ubuntu's repository I downloaded..

libsratom-0-0_0.4.4~dfsg0-1_i386.deb
libsord-0-0_0.12.0~dfsg0-3_i386.deb
libserd-0-0_0.18.2~dfsg0-2_i386.deb
liblilv-0-0_0.16.0~dfsg0-1_i386.deb
libvamp-hostsdk3_2.5+repack0-2_i386.deb
libportsmf0_0.1~svn20101010-4_i386.deb
libportaudio2_19+svn20140130-1_i386.deb


alien2puppy must be installed


I copied all these in one folder and opened terminal
and cd'd into that folder. Typed in terminal the command ...
When the script stops for icons, I copied over some more
libraries (mainly libwx) from previously built Precise Audacity.
As well I fixed the desktop file ---> Icon needs full path.
I removed locales for a separate pet package.
I found that I had to move several libraries that I found in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
and put these in regular /usr/lib/ folder

Proceeded to make package.

Check for missing libraries by installing audacity and typing.. The result is a nice stable uptodate Audacity, however there are two
bugs. (they aren't serious)

1) Audacity is shown twice in the start menu.
2) When it launches without a file it gives a warning message.

________________________________________________

I made additional versions for Precise 5.7.1 and Slacko 5.6 and 5.7

I found a bug that causes a crash

Avoid using the effect

Sliding Time Scale / Pitch Shift...

Allows you to make a continuous change to the tempo and/or pitch of a selection by choosing initial and/or final change values.

Time Tracks can be used to bend tempo more flexibly (also affecting pitch) using Envelope Tool.

http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/sl ... shift.html

Thank you.
it works well on Tarh and translated into French with the NLS package.
perhaps soon

Seems to work in Precise.

Though it doesn't find the help and manual files after I placed them into /usr/share/audacity. It complains: can not find /usr/share/audacity/help/manual/quick_help.html and also /usr/share/audacity/help/manual/index.html. But the files are there.

I believe I removed the doc folder when I made the package.
You can check where Ubuntu puts it on their site.

__________________________________________________



The crash with the effect Sliding Time Scale / Pitch Shift...
only seems to occur with short files like 2barks.wav and I
can avoid the crash by first doing stretch command first on file.

______________________________________________

I compiled Audacity development version 2.1.0 rev13928 in Precise Puppy 5.7.1.

This can also be used in tahrpup, opens mp3, wav, ogg......... flac.

flac: Make a copy before editing... shows nothing
flac: Read the file directly... crashes

Almost ALL features are enabled.. but I had to disable ffmpeg support.. it would not compile

The following libs are statically linked:
wxwidgets
flac
nyquist
sbsms
soundtouch
vamp
lv2
portaudio
portsmf

Congratulations! It takes a lot of skill and patience to compile Audacity.
You should try to compile on Quirky April 64 now.
I will test it.

I tested your version and it acts the same as mine.

I use Audacity, daily, and I thank you, don570, for making this available.

I don't have the needed knowledge to compile, therefore I do thank you, and I report that this version works perfectly.

festus

version 1.3.14 bêta at home (Slacko 5.3.2.9).
I download SFS for later try.
I don't work an audio a lot, i am not as specialist.

Audacity is on test bench to day. I have just bought a tape reader to transfer my songs to Mp3.
Audacity Windows does it.
Slacko well see usb micro (in fact the tape reader is the micro linked by USB cable o the computer, but it does not record anything.
I try with Vivid 6.5, no audacity available PPM (one but it lacks something)
Your SFS dowloaded.. wait a minute, please, feed back soon will come.
root# audacity
audacity: error while loading shared libraries: libavcodec.so.54: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
root#
always these libs missing. Tahrpup was my favourite, now i hate it. Without FFmpeg all applis fail !

I am sure the PolarQt will succeed... I change my pendrive..

Hi Pelo !

Regarding ffmpeg .
Maybe this link is useful for you .

I have the same problem. Any idea what is causing this and how to fix it?

I have "fixed" this in an unusual but simple -to me- way.

As I got some menu pipes in my T.O.P.L.E.S.S., I just put the help files into my sub-directory guides in directory My-Files at boot partition. So I can read the manual from a menu entry in JWM without to load/run audacity.

Won't waste some time anymore to get the help files working from within audacity.

Audacity version 2.1.2

compiled under use of Slacko 6.3.0 and
Application is created for Slacko 6.3.0 and working out of the box there.

Package for Slacko 6.3.0
audacity-2.1.2-s-i686.pet ( 6063 k , xz compression , md5 = 7f6b8cb43325b29e2f9c7322c0300c1b )

@don570
Unfortunately "Sliding Time Scale / Pitch Shift... " bug is still existing.
Did you report this bug to the Audacity developer ?

@LazY Puppy
Audacity do not contain the manual and quick help by default.
There is a version for Windows and Mac OS available which contain manual and quick help
but unfortunately there don't exist such a version for Linux.
Add of "manual / quick help" afterwards leads to the error message you already reported.

Audacity version 2.1.2 is working well in Slacko 6.3.0, 32-bit

Thank you, norgo

Yes!Norgo, your pet for Slacko will work with Vividpup 6.5
if, and only if :
All .so.52.1 link to so.51 and ln -s avconv ffmpeg in /usr/bin
Thanks backi, your info was usefull (iknow it, but i never remember where the topic is )
I persist to say that removing FFmpeg from tahrpup, and so on, was an idiot strategy ! (Ubuntu's idea, i suppose)
Functions have to be verified.
i had success with precord recording tapes (change the micro input) in alsamixer by PF6 (tape reader connected USB)

audacity 1.3.12 bêta does the job.. in Vividpup better than new stuff, nothing to add, 7MB taxes included.
However, "ne vendons pas la peau de l'ours avant de l'avoir tué", should advise Musher0... Tests are needed to confirm.
If new Puppies ennoy with libraries, a simple solution : Go back to Puppy Precise ! You should not miss a lot.. Life will be easier !
Main interest of tahrpup was Qt libraries, they want to remove them from Xenial. Passengers will leave the boat, that is no interest to run Puppy without any entertainme,t excepted changing some lines of Linux programs.
Computing is not our hobby, People in trains and airplanes are not computing, i am sure

Audacity 2.1.3-i686.pet - md5sum : 84cb72b9e58a603f901212a5b7d6d692
The application is compiled in LxPupSc-17.07.1T with ffmpeg support . I use it in LxPupSc-17.07.23 .The pet is xz compressed.
First install the dependencies pets below :
wxWidgets-3.0.3-i686.pet - md5sum : 3617035a2b9068a394443e299aedcaea
twolame-0.3.13-i686.pet - md5sum : c07c9a2391297d84e33f4c917df4a3d0
portaudio-2.0-i686.pet - md5sum : ebbe480555972eaa5deba0bbe7482bfb
soundtouch-1.9.2-i686.pet - md5sum : f6660ed418481171fcef1c7c5fd3abea

@Gobbi
tried your Audacity 2.1.3 under LxPupSc and detected following issues:

1. no tooltip appears when hover mouse over "playback volume" slider
2. no tooltip appears when hover mouse over "recording volume" slider
3. no tooltip appears when hover mouse over "playback speed" slider
4. no tooltip appears when hover mouse over "Gain" slider
5. no tooltip appears when hover mouse over "Balance" slider
so it's quite impossible to adjust a desired value

Your version seems to be compiled without Soundtouch,
anyways feature is shown as deactivated and doesn't work.

nevertheless thank you for contribution
