Installing Spectrum3D on Ubuntu 20.04

  • 772

Trying to install Spectrum3D audio visualizer. I tried to follow install instructions, made sure I had dependencies etc, but it failed with 'make' Bash command not found. I searched and installed 'make' and 'build-essential' then the installation went further, but I had another error. Furthermore, I searched and found I needed to install some dependencies - libgstreamer-gl1.0-0 was one of them. However before that the Ubuntu instructions failed on finding 'libstreamer0.10-dev'

I can run ./configure and its successful.

Now keep getting hung up after executing the 'make' command.

This is the error

So, I found a script to remove and re-install 'make' which I created and ran, and it installed ok. I've checked I have 'Automake' installed. Seems I have all dependencies.

Now with the instructions included in the program, I can configure the installation OK, but when I run 'make' I get the error above.

Looking through the output there are no errors before it gets to the end as shown above, mostly just says 'xxx first defined here'

Spectrum3D is an old program that was last updated 4 years ago.

I've tried a few solutions online, found one here on the Ubuntu site, but unfortunately the instructions haven't worked for me.

Link here: install spectrum3d on ubuntu

Can anyone tell me it's too old and unsupported to get working properly.

  1. So the final answer was -

    On a fresh install Follow install instructions and install all libraries listed, including optional 'Jack' libraries.

    I ran these commands (taken from other post) -

    sudo apt-get install aptitude

    sudo aptitude install build-essential libgtk-3-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev libsdl1.2-dev

    Couldn't find 'libstreamer0.10-dev' I ignored it.

    Then I used Synaptic manager to install 'gstreamer-bad-plugins' and noted most other relevant plugins were installed (anything to do with gstreamer except RTP and CV or QT plugins stuff.)

    I opened a terminal in the spectrum3d folder in my downloads and ran -

    sudo ./configure CFLAGS=-fcommon

    sudo make

    sudo make install

    It all worked, installed correctly, icon in applications menu, and app seems to work as expected.

    Big thanks to steeldriver for the help.
