[Audacity-devel] revision 12962 does not build

[Steve t. F. <ste...@gm...>]

revision 12962 does not build when following the instructions
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/CompilingAudacityForBeginners

This is tested on a fresh install of Debian Stable and is due to the
issue stated by Benjamin here:
http://audacity.238276.n2.nabble.com/PATCH-Use-Automake-please-test-tp7560528p7560673.html

Benjamin suggested that as workaround, /usr/lib/libvamp-hostsdk.la can
be removed from the system.

What does libvamp-hostsdk.la do? What's it for and does anyone need it?

If libvamp-hostsdk.la really is an unnecessary "junk" file, then
wouldn't it be better if running "Make" deleted it?

If that is not a good idea, then is it a good idea to tell users to
delete that file in the compiling instructions?

I expect that many Audacity users would be nervous about deleting
"system files".
