Compiling but not installing Alsa

Compiling but not installing Alsa

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   I did my first Alsa CVS download this morning just to take a look at
the code. I am a PlanetCCRMA user, but wanted to know more about Alsa.

   I have not yet found a README or INSTALL file on how to do a build.
Are there any written instructions in the CVS tree?

   I looked at the Makefile, which I can't read well, and I get the
feeling that the default operation would be to build AND install the
code. As a RPM based user I would like to build the code, but not
install it until the Planet updates the appropriate RPM.

   Is this possible with the current CVS code?

Thanks,
Mark

it's found on alsa-driver directory.
in short, run cvscompile script on the top of alsa-driver tree.

	% ./cvscompile --with-cards=xxx

and it will generate the configure script, run it and make driver
modules.

you have to get both alsa-driver and alsa-kernel cvs trees
beforehand, since alsa-kernel is separate from alsa-driver, while the
alsa-driver tarball includes both.

the rpm depends on the distributor.
a general spec file can be found on alsa-driver/utils directory,
though.
