This is really aggravating. I've had a ton of problems
compiling ALSA in the past on Debian. :( I am getting EXTREMELY upset at
having continuous problems using ALSA on Debian. And don't tell me to use
the pre-compiled ALSA packages. They only are available for the 2.4
kernel, which I don't run-- and they are SEVERAL VERSIONS OLD.
This is a freshly installed (literally YESTERDAY) Debian
3.0 ("Woody") x86 system.
I am using Kernel 2.2.20. Please don't ask me to
"upgrade" to 2.4.x, I simply don't trust it yet. (I don't trust
any current kernel major-version. I didn't trust 2.2 until 2.4
was out!) Besides, I shouldn't have to upgrade my kernel
to 2.4 to get a sound driver to compile.
I am trying to compile 0.9.0rc3 and it simply will not work.
I have no clue what to do about the error message it
gives.
I unpack the sources, cd into their directory and run:
-----------------------------------------
rm -f include/linux/isapnp.h # As you recommended
./configure --with-kernel=/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.20
--disable-usb --with-debug=none --with-isapnp=no
--with-sequencer=no --with-cards=via8233
make
-----------------------------------------
Make spews its usual stuff, and then it ends in:

-----------------------------------------
This is getting _EXTREMELY_ aggravating. I would like to offer two of my
systems-- a Debian 3.0 x86 machine, and a Debian 3.0 PPC machine, to the
ALSA developers as testing machines. I would like you guys to start
test-compiling ALL new versions on Debian before release, and I would be
MORE than happy to provide one of your senior developers with root on each
of these boxen so you could do it.
Please respond via e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm getting good and sick of
OSS-Free, but if ALSA won't compile, then what the hell will I use?
