I've been able to build svn head on debian, but my system is a mix of lenny, squeeze and sid...

Audacity 1.2.6 Recording PC: Windows Vista Editing PC: Windows XP SP2 The recommended version for Vista is 1.3.12 (and pretty much for all other OS's too), it has more features and is actually more stable in mo...
