OK, I tried that with a fresh checkout of r12993, but no joy:

/audacity/autotools/missing: line 81: aclocal-1.13: command not found
WARNING: 'aclocal-1.13' is missing on your system.
         You should only need it if you modified 'acinclude.m4' or
         'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
         The 'aclocal' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
         It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf>
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
         <http://www.perl.org/>
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 127

I have the following instatalled:

automake 1:1.11.6-1
automake 1:1.10.3-3
autotools-dev 20120608.1
autoconf 2.69.1
m4 1.4.16-3
perl 5.14.2-21+deb7u1
perl-base 5.14.2-21+deb7u1
perl-modules 5.14.2-21+deb7u1
lib-perl 5.14.2-21+deb7u1


I am able to build Audacity if I run:
autoreconf --no-recursive
./configure -enable-debug
make


I'd still like to know the correct way to make a patch (without having
to manually delete loads of unrelated stuff from the diff file).
Currently what I'm doing is:

mv src/Makefile.in src/Makefile.in.bak
svn diff src/ > patch-file
mv src/Makefile.in.bak src/Makefile.in

which works but more faff than just
svn diff > patch-file
at some point this needs to be documented.

I'd also still like to know how to build mod-nyq-bench
