Now I am confused... you are saying that
I don't need the alsa-driver directory that
is checked out with CVS?

As in:

rm -rf alsa-driver

?

New attempt:

/usr/src/alsa>tar -C alsa-kernel -cf - --exclude CVS --exclude Documentation --exclude include . | tar -C /lib/modules/2.5.74-debug/build/sound -xf -
/usr/src/alsa>tar -C alsa-kernel/include -cf - --exclude CVS . | tar -C /lib/modules/2.5.74-debug/build/include/sound -xf -
/usr/src/alsa>rm -rf alsa-conf alsa-driver
/usr/src/alsa>make
/usr/src/alsa>make
rm -rf /usr/doc/packages/alsa
mkdir -p /usr/doc/packages/alsa
for i in driver utils; do                               \
        cp alsa-$i*/README /usr/doc/packages/alsa/README.$i;    \
done
cp: cannot stat `alsa-driver*/README': No such file or directory
for i in FAQ INSTALL doc/SOUNDCARDS; do                 \
        cp alsa-driver*/$i /usr/doc/packages/alsa;                      \
done
cp: cannot stat `alsa-driver*/FAQ': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `alsa-driver*/INSTALL': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `alsa-driver*/doc/SOUNDCARDS': No such file or directory
make: *** [install-doc] Error 1


Ok - so you can't run 'make' at all in the CVS root.

Then do I understand correctly that:

1) alsa-conf and alsa-driver can be deleted.
2) alsa-kernel needs to be copied to /lib/modules/*/build/sound
   and alsa-kernel/include to /lib/modules/*/build/include/sound
   and then run 'make modules' in /lib/modules/*/build
3) One needs to run 'make; make install' as root in
   alsa-lib and alsa-utils seperately.
4) The rest can't be built ('make' doesn't work).
5) Again: alsa-drivers is not needed at all for me.

Thanks for the clarification.
