Re: [Audacity-devel] Error building (with python3 as /usr/bin/python)

[Paul L. <pau...@bo...>]

This is as good an option as any. My nightly build script changes the reference from python2 to python in the configure script before it's run, but this gives the same result.

The only other problem building on a Mac at the moment is if you try to build universal (not the easiest thing to do on anything post Snow Leopard), then SseMathFuncs.cpp will fail to build for PPC, it needs some #define protection. I'll try and get this fix checked in tonight or tomorrow.

Paul.
