Comment 6 for bug 193593

The solution to this problem is to add a build dependency "libsoundtouch-dev" .

From the audacity developers, as "soundtouch" has not been modified by audacity team for a while now, it is no longer included with the release tarballs and system libraries should be used instead.

It was me who patched scripts/maketarball.sh to not include soundtouch
in the tarball. My reasoning was that we didn't have any patches in
soundtouch (and hadn't had since soundtouch 1.3.1 was released). It was
therefore a stock upstream copy.

The main reason I didn't like distributing this was that it used to
cause compile errors on various distributions, which then came back to
us as problems compiling audacity. As a result my preference has always
been for installing soundtouch as a system library on Linux systems,
then linking against that rather than static link a copy from within
audacity's source tarball (it also saves 308k on the download).

We already don't put libogg / libvorbis / libflac in the source tarball
for the same reasons, and this hasn't been a problem in the past.
