this is completely correct. there is nobody on the ardour-dev mailing list with the time to provide hand-holding for the compile process. i want everything about building ardour right now to shout at you "if you can't do this, give up!". nobody in their right minds expects endusers to use CVS, let alone have all the auto-tools installed on their systems with the precise mix of versions required for this crappy but irreplaceable set of tools to work right. when ardour is ready for end users, binaries will be available. until then, if you can't build it and nobody answers your questions quickly, take that as a sign that (1) you should wait and (2) people are busy working on cool new features. --p ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
