[Audacity-devel] Building out of the box

[Dominic M. <do...@au...>]

I spend some time with both branches of Audacity today, and checked in 
some changes, most to help it compile "out of the box".  A couple were 
minor changes related to wx 2.6 incompatibility; the major change was 
that the following four libraries now have AM_MAINTAINER_MODE in their 
configuration scripts:

   soundtouch
   libsndfile
   libmad
   libid3tag

I had tried to do this before but had trouble, but I finally figured out 
how to make this work.  What this means is that unless you explicitly 
tell it to, running "make" will NEVER trigger re-running configure, and 
running configure or make will NEVER trigger running aclocal, automake, 
or any other autotools.  Those all tend to cause problems for users who 
don't have the right versions of autotools installed, and they're 
triggered way too often when checking out Audacity over CVS.

I also upgraded libmad from 0.14.2b to 0.15.1 (both branches), and I 
addressed (in CVS HEAD only) the recent bug in Bugzilla that not all 
encoding formats are supported by "Import Raw" (now the ones not 
supported are no longer displayed).
