Arch Linux User Repository

It seems this won't build any more.

I was eventually able to build and successfully run by using the same ./configure as the PKGBUILD and then this make command:

make CFLAGS="-Wno-incompatible-pointer-types -Wno-deprecated-declarations"

This is, starting from the tar.bz2 package linked a while ago.

None of the git packages nor the fork compile (they actually seem to fail even at the ./configure statge)

Essentially this PKGBUILD worked for me (I am on Manjaro but I don't think that's too relevant):

pkgname=mhwaveedit
pkgver=1.4.24
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="mhWaveEdit is a graphical program for editing, playing and recording sound files."
arch=('x86_64' 'aarch64' 'armv7h')
url="https://github.com/magnush/mhwaveedit/"
license=('GPL')
makedepends=('autoconf')
depends=('gtk2' 'libsndfile' 'libsamplerate')
source=("https://github.com/magnush/mhwaveedit/archive/v1.4.24.tar.gz")
sha256sums=('a4115b3d18f3f038b08b2bf4ff599703b7ba69bc7ac510d5f7279b3f47ea57dd')

build() {
 cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
 ./configure --prefix=/usr --without-oss --without-portaudio --without-oss --with-double-samples --without-check-casts
 make CFLAGS="-Wno-incompatible-pointer-types -Wno-deprecated-declarations"
}
package() {
 cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
 make DESTDIR=${pkgdir} install
}

There is an improved fork: https://github.com/Sound-Linux-More/mhwaveedit

Very fast in compare with audacity, but may crash sometimes.

I uninstalled mhwaveedit, as I saw in lorenzosu's link (thanks for providing) that the latest version is from 2013-08-11...

I installed mhwaveedit-git instead, which had it's latest update about a year ago.

Hi, I was able to install from the latest original 1.4.23 release (.tar.bz2) source grabbed from the latest snapshot of gna.org from archive.org [1]. I also managed by slightly modifying your PKGBUILD to point to that file etc. and managed to create the package succesfully and install. PS: I'm on manjaro, not sure if that is relevant.

Yes, I am having trouble building mhwaveedit, too. This seems to be not Arch Linux related, but a bug in their configure script and should be reported on the project page. Since mhwaveedit seems mostly unmaintained these days, I'm not sure whether that helps, though. I'm currently not having the time fixing this.

On a fresh install of Arch Linux I am having trouble installing mhwaveedit: ==> Making package: mhwaveedit r476.e7caba3-1 (Fri Jun 16 06:06:54 PDT 2017) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> Retrieving sources... -> Updating mhwaveedit git repo...
