Dear All,
This is probably a topic more about using autoconf and configure and how to correctly generate the files, but I have very little experience with doing this and orignally hacked my files to get my version of Audacity to work....
I have installed audacity from source, and have made changes to my version which includes a specific define which I need for my builds
to work (including correct c++ files etc). Not being an expert in configure I simply added a #define to the configunix.h and built, which
worked.
The problem is I am trying to build a package of this now, which then other people could use to install. The package build does a configure step
which overwrites the configunix.h so it does not have my #define.
Can someone tell me how to get my #defines into that file. I have tried altering the configure.in to include the AC_DEFINE, but that doesn't work. I also tried
running the autoconf again, but that totally fails. Just not at all experienced with using these tools... so ..
is there an easy way to get the configure step to include my #define or what should I do to add my stuff...
Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Tpb

Re: Audacity 2.0 and Configure
There is some possibly outdated information here
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Notes_for_Packagers .
I don't think anyone here has the knowledge to help you with non-standard routines. Why did you
need to make changes in the first place? What version of Linux are you using?
I would suggest searching on or subscribing to audacity-devel:
http://audacity.238276.n2.nabble.com/au ... 38278.html
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/lis ... city-devel .

Re: Audacity 2.0 and Configure
Yeah, I figured it was a stretch to ask this here, think I have been to the devel page, I will look around there...
I rebuilt it because we use Audacity in a very different way here. We use it to record our digital content, and then via code modules (that I add) we can insert/update the recordings into our proprietary database with Meta data attached. That content is then used for radio broadcasts later on.
Since there a 100+ broadcasters here currently using Audacity - eventually - we would like the ability to install our version in the Linux machines as well.
Thanks for your information.
