Well, unfortunately you have jumped into what I consider to be one
of the most complex setup things in all of Linux - alsa sound....
Realize the following things to be sure:
--------------------------------------------
1. Alsa compilation requires the KERNEL SOURCE that is for
your currently running kernel ( or the one you intend to be running )
2. Your error message immediately suggests that you need to
go run "make xconfig" or "make menuconfig" or "make config"
for your kernel source and Enable the OSS Sound as a Module.
cd /usr/src/linux
make xconfig
( go to sound option, enable OSS )
( save config )
make dep; make bzImage; make modules; make modules_install <enter>
This will make your kernel image and install the modules for your kernel
but it will not install this kernel.
I just do all of these steps so that I never miss anything, ever, when
building kernels.
If you do not already have a kernel of this version supporting OSS
running, you will have to install this kernel and eventually boot on it.
( More directions later if you need those )
3. Then, go back and run "make" on your alsa again.
It should no longer give you THAT SAME error message at least.
