errors in symlinks in alsa-oss rc1 with mandrake 9.0

hi all
just a note to say i had to modify the symlinks to 'missing',
'mkinstalldirs' and 'install-sh' to get alsa-oss-0.9.0rc1 to install
under mandrake 9.0.

it seems that from 9.0 mandrake puts automake in /usr/share/automake-1.4
rather than /usr/share/automake. i dont know if anyone wants to add a
detection for this to the config script?

alsa-oss just build fine, look at myt libalsa-oss0 package in mandrake
contribs.

mdk9.0 come with both automake-1.4 and automake-1.6 since some
packages need the latter and some other the first one.

there's nothing wrong in having versionnated directories such as
/usr/share/automake.

there's nothing enforcing having /usr/share/automake.

only automake should access such files.

you should not have to rely on automake macros being in
/usr/share/automake and i failled to see where such  assumption is
made in alsa-oss build system in cvs.

so there's no point in such script.

if some tarball of some with a pre build configure and the like, and
if some links're broken, aclocal, libtoolize, automake and autoconf
are your friends to fix them.

anyway, generating them from cvs does works on any system having
automake & autoconf.

Hi!

Exactly the same problem for me.
./configure fails for alsa-oss-0.9.0rc1 (extracted from 
alsa-oss-0.9.0rc1.tar.bz2) because /usr/share/automake doesn't exist. 
(There's only a /usr/share/automake-1.4 directory in my mandrake 9.0 
installation).

here's part of 'ls -l alsa-oss-0.9.0rc1' output after extracting from 
the tarball:
[...]
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           30 Dez 17 11:02 install-sh -> 
/usr/share/automake/install-sh
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           27 Dez 17 11:02 missing -> 
/usr/share/automake/missing
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           33 Dez 17 11:02 mkinstalldirs -> 
/usr/share/automake/mkins
These 3 links are pointing to a path that doesn't exist.

Building from cvs using './cvscompile' works fine.

btw: What do I need this alsa-oss package for? I didn't miss any 
functionality up to now without it, i.e I can cat wav files to /dev/dsp, ...

ah, that explains the cause.  we missed --copy option for automake.
anyway, cvscompile should work (as long as you installed autoconf,
automake and libtool).


Jaroslav, could you repackage the alsa-oss tarball at the next
release?
