[N.B. Sent to Lame mailing-list and to Rogerio Brito (who appears in
the debian/control file)]

I finally got the Round Tuit required to build Lame 3.92 on my Debian
system last night (until now, I've been using a November 2001
snapshot).

I was pleasantly surprised to find a debian/ directory in the source
tarball, so I decided to take advantage of this and build a package so
I could safely install into the managed part of my machine(s).

A couple of things I noticed:

* The package is version 3.91-1, but we're packaging Lame 3.92

* I was able to build mp3x by installing libgtk1.2-dev as a
  Build-Depends, and adding --enable-mp3x to the configure rule in
  debian/rules.  (N.B. libgtk2.0-dev *does not* work by default, as
  it's missing gtk-config)

  I also needed to add usr/bin/mp3x to debian/lame.files

  If I knew how to do it, I'd try making a separate package lame-mp3x
  so as not to pull in Xlib for users who want only Lame.

* I added --enable-expopt --enable-nasm to the configure line successfully
  (I tried --enable-expopt=full, but that requires a newer gcc than the
  2.95 that's in sarge - dunno why configure doesn't test the compiler
  options).

  I didn't try --enable-analyzer-hooks, --enable-mp3rtp or --with-vorbis.


Is it possible (and legal) to distribute the source package as part of
Debian, without compiling it to binary packages?
