Re: [Fedora-music-list] Is compiling for source the only way to still get Ardour 3 on Fedora 19?
OK, It compiled and I have it started up. So, those instructions work other
than needing to add boost-devel 1.39 or above. How well it works will take
some time to test, though. I didn't compile with
Ardour's modified library versions. I am curious how that will work out. It
seems the fonts are different than with previous versions because of this
already. Is it possible to install them on Fedora from the download links
Ardour devs provides?

OK, sorry. I neglected to install the boost-devel package. I have

that now and the /waf configure worked, so the actual compilation should as
also work. It's about 1/4 of the way done. I will report back...
