Nightly Builds

From Audacity Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search
Nightly builds are automated Alpha builds from the latest development code in SVN trunk. Although by their nature these builds are unstable and may contain bugs, we encourage everyone to test out our latest ideas and report problems to us. This will directly help to improve the quality of the following Beta release.
Go to the Audacity-SVN Google group to view the latest code changes and comments, or join the group to receive these by e-mail.

[edit] Windows Binaries

Frequent (but not necessarily nightly) Unicode Release builds from SVN trunk are available, currently built against wxWidgets 2.8.10:

Instructions: Extract the contents of the zip to a new folder and double-click audacity.exe from that new folder to launch it. It will not affect any other installed version of Audacity you may have.


[edit] Macintosh Binaries

Every night at 03:15 (British time) Audacity is automatically built from the latest SVN trunk. The universal binary produced is a release build against a statically linked wxWidgets library, currently 2.8.10. The most recent builds are at the bottom of the file list. OS X 10.4 or later is required.


[edit] Linux / Unix

Daily PPA installation packages are available for Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) and 10.04 Alpha (Lucid). Follow the instructions to add the PPA to Ubuntu and authenticate it before installing a package for the first time.

For other Linux/Unix distributions, you may checkout and compile our latest development code. We recommend reading Developing On Linux and our Compiling Audacity Step by Step Guide.
