OK! Success! I'm beginning to feel like I'm not totally
incompetant.  Build instructions all worked, but missing one
important step that all you software developers probably did
back in 1996, and forgot. (I haven't done this for a while... I
feel nervous without my paper tape reader handy.)

I got it all to compile and work, Hercules and all, but no jackd
in the sound API list. It wasn't using the newly-compiled
portaudio because I hadn't added the local lib path to
/etc/ld/so/conf. That's the missing item.

My quickie build notes, I'll round it out. Some of it is
blunderously obvious (unless you've not done it before :-)
My quickie notes tend to be literal and executable.

sudo aptitude purge mixxx mixxx-data
sudo apt-get build-dep mixxx

# add to /etc/ld.so.conf
include /usr/local/lib

ldconfig

cd ~/Music

cd mixxx
sudo scons djconsole_legacy=1 install

# runs!
