Audacity build question. for Ticket #47189

[Robert Chalmers]

Thanks Mojca,

It does compile and install with no problems as you say. However it’s still the same 2.1.2 that has it’s own issues (bugs?) that I’m waiting patiently to see fixed. But not to worry. 
I’m pretty impressed by your work getting this to build. I’d love to have the time to get it working under XCode with the XCode build. I started with it, but collided with a whole lot of issues…..
anyway, as fate would have it, I’ve reverted to 2.1.1 in production here, because editing became a nightmare under 2.1.2, and I’m on a fairly large audiobook with another even bigger to follow.

Robert
