[Audacity-devel] FLAC 1.1.3 / 1.1.4

[Richard A. <ri...@au...>]

Currently audacity doesn't build with newer versions of FLAC / FLAC++
libraries because 1.1.3 changed the API. Gentoo have a patch for this
which makes it possible to compile with either (by some compile-time
checking). Do we want to put this into CVS (with a bit of tidying up
possibly)? Do we need to go further and detect which we have at runtime?
I don't think so, and it would be rather more complex.

We're probably going to have to support the transition on Linux for a
while, given that most distributions haven't moved up to <=1.1.3 yet
(but if you hit the project home page, you get 1.1.4).
