For many users, JACK is an utterly useless extra dependency that is not required for essential functions in audacity. I would prefer to avoid polluting my system with extra dependencies that don't yield noticeable benefit. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: The core problem presumably is the fact that audacity's build system does not have something like a "--without-jack" switch which we can use to turn it off via OPTIONS. However, this problem also caused some debate a while ago in other corners of the open source planet and the Gentoo maintainers seem to have solved it by tweaking audacity's configure.in and generate a new configure script from that which DOES have the "--without-jack" switch. We could do that, too. Then we can introduce the necessary OPTIONS in our port. Bug report showing the problem in Gentoo: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=210415 Diff to the configure.in script: https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=144482&action=diff If you need anything more to get this to work, I am happy to assist and test. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
