Re: [LAD] optimum binary distribution (was: vectorization)

That's why I was thinking about a little different approach for binary distributions: just precompile some part of the audio application (/most of it) and actually compile the core elements (the ones that are crucial to overall performance) on demand by the user. Because I agree compiling a whole complex audio app is usually an unconvenient user-unfriendly task, especially because all of those library dependencies and system specific path locations etc. the user has to deal with and the long time it takes to compile the whole beast. But with such a partly precompiled solution you (as a distribution package maintainer) can already take away those hairy tasks, because the few core elements that are going to be compiled by the user will only have fery few dependencies left: the applications own library (which is already there anyway) a compiler and very basic standard header files like math.h which are usually there on a machine with compiler anyway. And since those dependencies are so small, it wouldn't be a hard task to integrate such a build system into the application itself, so the user just has to adjust the CXXFLAGS in a line input box or something and press the "Recompile" button.
