Re: [SoX-users] Sox 14.0.1 compiles!

[Chris B. <ch...@cn...>]

I'll try and test with cygwin to make sure it works with 14.0.1.  
Normally, I only test cygwin with the -mno-cygwin option which makes it 
act quite differently.  Yes, I agree configure scripts run agonizingly 
slow under cygwin but thats not really anything we can do other then 
keep configure scripts short as possible.  In 14.0.1 we have ripped out 
the internal libltdl source code and so compile time will be a little 
bit faster.

Couple of hints more:

1) Try with the "configure --disable-shared" option.  This will make 
sure you don't use libltdl; if installed; which has known issues with 
SoX.  There is supposed to be a check already in configure that disables 
libltdl on cygwin but maybe you've found a corner case.
2) If for some reason your using libltdl then you need to install SoX 
before it will find the plugins.  If it can't find plugins then only m3u 
and pls will show up as known file formats.
