Yes, I know this exists and I guess I'll look into using PATH, execvp and a different configure approach by the time 1.1 comes.

I've noted the bug in SoX < 13.0.0 and i'll write something up with 1.1 also.

Thanks for the report :-)

Hi,

When building dvdspanky, the configure script encodes absolute paths to the various binaries in the config.h script. This is a nuisance when you install a different version of one of those binaries (sox for example) in a separate (non-system) directory.

Also, when I installed a newer version of sox in /home/me/local/bin, and had this directory first in the PATH, configure still insisted on picking /usr/sox/bin. I had to manually modify config.h and recompile in order for dvdspanky to use the other installation of sox.

Wouldn't it be better/more convenient if dvdspanky relied on the PATH in order to find the required binaries (eg. use execvp() instead of execv() inside forkit()).
