Static build of alsa-lib?

Static build of alsa-lib?

[Adrian McMenamin]

Thanks to James I now know a few more of things I need to do to build and test 
my sound driver on the Dreamcast.

But the system I am installing to is based on a static version of Busybox - 
there is no glibc (or indeed any other C RTL) available on it. Thus I need to 
build anything I install as static.

I can successfully build the alsa-lib with the cross compiling tools I have, 
but can see no easy way to get it to build static - can anybody tell me how?

Adrian

Apologies, I should have read the INSTALL file properly.

You could use the oss emulation instead. You won't need alsa-lib etc then.
just "modprobe snd-pcm-oss" and then depending on whether you run devfs 
or not, create /dev/dsp

Cheers

That certainly looks easier! cat testfile.txt > /dev/dsp works much better, 
but it sort of defeats the object!

Actually, I have been able to compile and install static versions of the 
alsa-libs, though I am finding it next to impossible to configure the 
alsa-utils for cross compiling - if anybody knows how to do that, I would 
welcome advice: this is what I am getting now...
