Robin Gareus 53c6c714cd disable symbol export -- fix LinuxVST issue -rdynamic: Pass the flag -export-dynamic to the ELF linker, on targets that support it. This instructs the linker to add all symbols, not only used ones, to the dynamic symbol table. This option is needed for some uses of dlopen or to allow obtaining backtraces from within a program. Some LinuxVST pluging cause ardour3 to crash -- if ardour is linked with -rdynamic (see #ardour log from 2013-jun-6). This is likely compiler specific and not a problem on las' build-machine (gcc 4.5.5) which is why the linux-packaging script enables it by default. The issue can be reproduced reliably with gcc 4.7.2 and 4.6.3. Although it is yet unclear if it is caused by g++/ld or related to other factors of the build-system...		2013-06-06 21:27:07 +02:00

README

* Installing Ardour:

On most distributions, you can double-click the file "install.sh".

Alternatively, you can use a Terminal to run the installer.  Navigate
to the folder and run:
	
	./install.sh
	
The installer will ask for your root password (sudo/su), and copy the 
contents of the appropriate bundle (32-bit or 64-bit) to your /opt
folder. 


* Links and Menu entries:

In addition to installing the program, the installer will create:
1) A desktop link to launch the Ardour application
2) A menu entry in Gnome/KDE
3) An uninstall script in the /opt folder.


* Uninstaller:

To uninstall Ardour, run the uninstaller script in the /opt folder.
This will remove the app, desktop links, menu links, and
the uninstaller itself.


* Manual Installation:

If you would prefer to install Ardour in a custom location, then you
may simply unzip the appropriate package (32bit or 64bit) to your
preferred location and run the Ardour application from the "bin"
folder inside.
