I downloaded this, and built it as a separate user and it seems fine
except that the Catalan translation directory is missing. It should be
at $PREFIX/share/locale I guess, all the older translations are present,
but not this new one.

I've built and tested this and the aubio dll is copied to the right
place.

When I run denemo under gdb it sometimes hangs on exit, it says it is in
some pthread function. This would likely be a problem with the threads
in general rather than any particular backend. I just removed calls to
gdk_threads_enter/leave as they are deprecated, but that still leaves
the main one which wraps the entire main thread (as I understand it, I
refer to the remaining gdk_threads_enter/leave which is in main.c
I'll try removing that too and see if that helps.
One thing that may be useful: the windows version never hangs when I
close it; I have some windows-only code that does not try to shut down
the audio when exiting. This could be bad in some circumstances (e.g.
while playing if the playing wasn't stopped, or when using JACK ...) but
it may be the thing to use for darwin. The code is in
close_gui_with_check() in view.c, basically it calls _exit() instead of
calling audio_shutdown() first.
