And again, hi :P

So, checking out the repository again as we speak, and I can confirm
something did go wrong yesterday. Right now I see spec files in the 'top'
directory of my svn checkout, something I didn't see yesterday. Yesterday I
only saw spec files inside directories residing in the 'top' directory.

I'll let you know how things go when I am done building.

Cheers,

Patrick

Hi Brian :)

As far as I can tell I am using the same OSS modules 4.00, but I am not sure
about the minor release version so I'll assume this version is different
then.
Regarding building JDS, what you describe looks exactly like what I tried
yesterday evening, with the addition that I did a pkgtool uninstall-pkgs
*.spec in the base-spec directory after checking out the svn repository.

I dunno, maybe something went horribly wrong during the checkout which
rendered me with a local repository I shouldn't have, I am gonna retry it as
we speak :)

Thanks for your explanations and time,

Patrick

It should work fine without needing to rebuild anything.  However, if
you don't rebuild SUNWgnome-audio and SUNWgnome-media then you are using
the SADA shim.  This shim allows programs that use the old Sun Audio
interfaces to redirect properly to use OSS.

I am aware that some users have complained that bugs in the SADA shim
cause audio problems on some systems.  If you are using the same
version of the OSS binaries that worked before, then you are probably
not running into these problems.

However, trying to rebuild SUNWgnome-audio and SUNWgnome-media to get
full OSS support is something you can try as a possible workaround.

I don't have any problems uninstalling and rebuilding these two spec
files on my Nevada build 72 system with vermillion 80 running on it.

What you need to do is:

1) Run ". /opt/jdsbld/bin/env.sh".

If this command doesn't work, then you probably need to install the
CBE.  Note the steps in the URL I provided before.

2) Run "pkgtool uninstall-pkgs SUWNgnome-audio.spec
SUNWgnome-media.spec" in the top level spec-files directory.

3) Run "pkgtool --download build SUNWgnome-audio.spec
SUNWgnome-media.spec" in the same directory.  This takes about an
hour on my machine.  Mostly because rebuilding the gtk-docs is a bit
slow.  Perhaps your computer is faster since my machine is a bit old.

That should be it.  If the build fails after doing this, then you might
not have the right Sun Studio compiler installed on your system?  That
works for me anyway.

This is a regression then, in my opinion. Prior to SXCE77 I never had to
rebuild anything.
Not to mention that jds doesn't build from source due to all kind of errors
in the spec files (invalid boolean errors from the top of my head) and the
documentation not being confirming the 'real world'. (During svn checkout
you get spec files in directories like exta,base-specs,closed where the
documentation tells you to do pkgtool build -v *.spec).

Patrick:

Note that for GNOME/GStreamer to work best with OSS, you need to rebuild
the SUNWgnome-audio* and SUNWgnome-media* packages after installing the
OSS packages.  To do this you should use the CBE, which you can get
from the OpenSolaris website:

http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/jds/contributing/building/

For example, rebuilding these packages, ensures that the GStreamer
OSS plugins are built.

Once OSS actually integrates with Solaris, then we will build these
plugins as a part of Solaris, but until then you will need to rebuild
these packages by hand to get full OSS support in
Nevada/OpenSolaris/etc.

[osol-discuss] Sound problems in SXCE77?

[Patrick Ale]

Hi guys and girls,

Just wondering, is anyone experiencing sound problems under SXCE77 where
they didn't before?
I have an Intel HDAUDIO chipset in my laptop. I installed the oss drivers
from opensound.com (as I always do), osstest spews out sound but things like
Rhythmbox or the volume control tell me the correct gstreamer plugins or
sounddevice arent installed.

Does anyone here recognize this behaviour?

Cheers,

Patrick
