Mixxx - version 1.5.0

IMPORTANT:
Please note that on linux the build system is a little bit
flaky. You'll need portaudio v19 in order to build it, which
is currently in beta. We're statically linking against a
version from Ubuntu which seems pretty stable at the moment.

We'll be working on sorting this out (possibly including a
binary lib) in SVN asap after this release along with
ditching our current legacy build system in favour of
autoconf.

* ABOUT ****************************************************
Mixxx is software created for DJ'ing. You can use wave based
audio files, Ogg Vorbis and MP3 files as audio input. Mixxx
can be controlled through the GUI and with external 
controllers including MIDI devices, joysticks and more.
This release works on Linux, Windows and MacOS X.

Mixxx is released under GPL v2. See LICENSE file in this 
directory for a copy of the licence.

- Loading tracks with left-clicking in playlist.
- Fixed headphone channel
- Overhauled audio code using PortAudio-v19

* INSTALL **************************************************
Mixxx has the following dependencies:
- fftw
- libid3tag
- libmad
- libogg
- libvorbis
- libvorbisfile
- libaudiofile
- PortAudio-v19 (new for Mixxx 1.5.0)
- QT3
- libjack (now required)

NOTE: If you want JACK support in Mixxx, make sure you 
compile PortAudio-v19 with JACK support first.

To build on Linux, you usually need to set your QTDIR first.
Eg. 
   $ export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3

Then you'd run something like:

   $ cd src
   $ ./configure --prefix=/usr
or
   $ ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-jack

then

   $ make
   $ ../install.pl
