Hi everyone,
i am pretty new to all this but while i was looking for the new
audacity version - i needed alsa support on my ibook - i noticed that
the 1.3.2 versione existed only in x86 and amd64 form.
After some investigation i found that there is already an open bug for
it
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=409255
since it's caused by some wrong -msse flag.
I downloaded the debian source package and patched it as described here
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=409255;msg=25
and built it. Now it works like a charm on my ibook.
It is available here
http://uovobw.homelinux.org/blog//archives/2007-03.html#e2007-03-02T01_31_30.txt
I also noticed
that the package has been tagged RFH for 116 days by now
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=397166
but, even though the patch is available and present since Sun, 11 Feb
2007, the package is not yet built or uploaded.
I think that is due to the mantainer no longer mantaining the package -
as for the RFH - so i was wondering: is there any other way to get it
in the official debian repository?
thanks
Bye
PS: sorry for both my english that might have made some sentences sound
maybe rude (it was not my will, only i do not master english yet) and
maybe for the uselessness of this post, since as said i am new to this
and i do not know how the whole package management works.
