Request for compilation test - v1.0.25

Request for compilation test - v1.0.25

[Jaroslav Kysela]

Hi all,

	I would like to ask for a package compilation test in your distribution
for latest ALSA package snapshots available at:

http://www.alsa-project.org/snapshot/

	At this time, these snapshots are available:

alsa-driver 	1.0.24.110.g22743.2525.ge60f5
alsa-lib 	1.0.24.1.53.g98d4e
alsa-utils 	1.0.24.2.26.g7d33a
alsa-firmware 	1.0.24.1.3.g3c38d
alsa-tools 	1.0.24.1.51.g234fa
alsa-oss 	1.0.17.2.g1dfe1
alsa-plugins 	1.0.24.11.gb3fb5
alsa-python 	1.0.24.2.g4c452

	Please, report any compilation/installation issues to this list (you
may add CC to me). I am going to make 1.0.25 release on Wednesday.

	The alsa-driver package will not support the kernels bellow 2.6.18
(released Sep 20 2006), from README:

 - Vanilla 3.0 to 3.2
 - Vanilla 2.6.18 to 2.6.39

	I kept the 2.4 build code, but it is not maintained and definitely, it
will be removed in next alsa-driver versions.

2.4 kernel won't be built since many driver codes need
KBUILD_MODNAME.

OTOH, 2.6 kernels below 2.6.18 should be still OK. I'm building the
drivers regularly with 2.6.9 and 2.6.16 kernels for SLE10 and SLE11.

Yep, added.

 alsa-plugins tarball doesn't contain the *.conf files for PulseAudio added 
 with the commit below:
   
 http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-plugins.git;a=commit;h=84ce9d8230d19ebd67bc8db691bab74c4cbac979

 Thus build fails as they're referenced in pulse/Makefile.*

 The other ones except alsa-oss which doesn't have a package in Pardus are 
 building just fine on x86_64 over linux 3.2.1 with GCC 4.5.3.

 Sound works as expected after a reboot.

I fixed this issue in the commit bellow:

http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-plugins.git;a=commit;h=6c6a4e417e874f523435242129685eee656e79ab

alsa-plugins 	1.0.24.12.g6c6a4

Thank you for your report and test.

I have done a quick test compilation of these in the development version 
of Ubuntu, 12.04. So far, I did not test installing them.

Compiles without problems.

> alsa-lib 	1.0.24.1.53.g98d4e

Compiles without problems.

> alsa-utils 	1.0.24.2.26.g7d33a

Fails at configure (probably just requires headers from the alsa-lib 
snapshot)

http://paste.ubuntu.com/814406/

> alsa-firmware 	1.0.24.1.3.g3c38d

Compiles without problems.

> alsa-tools 	1.0.24.1.51.g234fa

Fails with:

configure.in:20: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_LD10K1

http://paste.ubuntu.com/814403/

Also, this package refuses to build in parallel (I'm running "make -j5").

> alsa-oss 	1.0.17.2.g1dfe1

Compiles without problems.

> alsa-plugins 	1.0.24.11.gb3fb5

Fails with:

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `50-pulseaudio.conf', needed by 
`all-am'.  Stop.

http://paste.ubuntu.com/814400/

> alsa-python 	1.0.24.2.g4c452

I'm not familiar with building python packages, but "python setup.py 
build" seems to compile without problems.

Yes.  In theory, configure could check the header version >= 1.0.25,
but it makes hard to test now.  I think we can leave as is now.  After
all, configure script checked correctly that the old alsa-lib is
installed.

This is no regression.  You need to compile and install ld10k1 before
qlo10k1.

The parallel build itself should work when you run configure and make
in each sub-directory.


thanks,
