@bbitwo - it'd be helpful to know a few more details, starting with which Operating System you are using, and which version (or git commit) of Sonic Pi you were trying to build. Were you building based on BUILD-LINUX.md?

There have been changes in the build process in relation to aubio. Use the current latest source code (builds 5.0beta) and use the current packages listed in BUILD-LINUX.md You need to have libaubio-dev That works for me on Raspberry Pi and on Debian and on Ubuntu builds I have done (virtual on arm based Mac)

Thanks!
I am on Linux Mint 22 with package base Ubuntu Noble. (A Debian derivative). I had to install gcc12.
I tried to install following #3396. As you pointed out above there is a new build process https://github.com/sonic-pi-net/sonic-pi/blob/dev/BUILD-LINUX.md
I have installed by sudo apt install libqt6*-dev
I have a problem, there still is teh old version
$ qmake --version
QMake version 3.1
Using Qt version 5.15.13 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

Hi

If you have a read through this post #3449 you'll find the packages needed to get around the aubio problem (and you'll find a couple more missing packages as well)

I think if you do

sudo apt install libaubio-dev libpng-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-thread-dev qt6-svg-dev

that will get around the immediate problem - but just do the whole apt-get instruction from that post

My post also explains how to get round the qmake / qt5 problem which is because qtchooser defaults (brokenly) to qt5 regardless of what you do, so I basically made sure I removed qtchooser and put a link in /usr/bin

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/qmake6 /usr/bin/qmake

I also explain how to get around the gcc-13 problem when building

I should probably mark the previous document as only relevant up to v 4.50 (ish) not the v 5.0 and above
