Failed to compile HDSP driver from the CVS

Failed to compile HDSP driver from the CVS

[Ivica Bukvic]

Hi all!

First off, thank you very much for the awesome news Paul, I am extatic
to hear that HDSP driver is ready! :-)

However, I've been trying to compile it from the CVS and no matter what
I try I get the same error:

<snip>

I am not sure what this means, since there is no rme9652_mem.c file at
all in the alsa-kernel/pci/rme9652/ folder. Is this the way it's
supposed to be?

I tried soft-linking the rme9652_mem.c to hammerfall_mem.c without
success. I also tried copying the older driver's rme9652_mem.c into the
same folder. But, that gives me a different error:

Any insight into this one would be utmostly appreciated.

BTW, I am using MDK 8.1 (modified somewhat) and I just noticed that
there is still some rpm junk lingering around from the 0.5.11 version
that shipped with the MDK (even though I've been using the 0.9 version
for a while now and 0.5 seemed not to bother 0.9).

Finally, the question regarding the CVS compiling:

Do I still need to specify the --have-sequencer=yes flag or is this now
being done automatically?

Thank you for your help! Sincerely,

Ico

i think you failed to use the "-P" flag to the CVS update
command. Always use this flag, otherwise when someone removes a file
from CVS, its not removed from your local tree. 

as a result, you've still got rme9652_mem.c hanging around, and the
"fastdep" make target looks at *all* sources, not just those that are
listed in the Makefile. you need to remove this file. there are two
versions of it, one under alsa-kernel, one under alsa-driver.

please keep in mind that you should update alsa-lib and alsa-utils as
well, because they have been modified to support the 64 bit register
used by the H-DSP for its RMS meters.

RE: Failed to compile HDSP driver from the CVS

[Ivica Bukvic]

Thank you for your prompt reply!

However, this is the first time ever I tried using the CVS, so I had no
files hanging around prior to this downloading. I am also pretty sure
that I downloaded the stuff with -P flag (I did it as instructions on
the alsa-project page have stated it, including the -P flag). On top of
that I even tried updating the whole CVS tree just to see if that will
fix it.

So, I am not sure why it is even referencing the file in the first place
if none of the other files are supposed to mention it.

Should I uninstall every trace of Alsa from my cpu before trying to use
CVS?

No, thats not the issue. It might be a CVS sync issue at sf.net, as
well. The "anonymous" CVS repository is sometimes 6hrs behind the
"login" CVS repository.

rme9652_mem.c is now in the "Attic" meaning that it was removed from
CVS:

pbd[987]>cvs -z3 status rme9652_mem.c
===================================================================
File: no file rme9652_mem.c             Status: Up-to-date

   Working revision:    No entry for rme9652_mem.c
   Repository revision: 1.8     /cvsroot/alsa/alsa-kernel/pci/rme9652/Attic/rme9652_mem.c,v
pbd[988]>

This means that if you checkout ALSA, you should not get this file. I
would suggest that try 
      
 cvs -z3 update -dP

again, and see if that removes the file.

--p

Re: Failed to compile HDSP driver from the CVS

[Ivica Bukvic]

Apologies if this thing got posted twice. My mail has been acting up
lately.

I am a bit confused. It is not the fact that I do have this file, but
that the compile was looking for it. It must have been that issue you
mentioned about CVS being not up-to-date. However, here's the error when
I try to compile the driver now, after updating it with 

cvs -z3 -d ':pserver:anonymous@cvs.alsa-project.org:/cvsroot/alsa'
update -P -d 

I get the following error: 

make[3]: Leaving directory

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Also, there is a build shell script in the root dir of the CVS. Is it
better to use that or just type make (I tried both ways with same
results)

its a combination of the "fastdep" target looking at *all* existing
sources, whether they are meant to be there or not, plus the CVS sync issue.

use cvscompile to build it, i think.

But all this still comes up with the same error, so this does not seem
to be the solution. The compiling still stops with the same error which
I am unable to figure out since it has to do with some define statements
at the beginning of the hammerfall_mem.c file:

make  -C rme9652 modules
make[2]: Entering directory
`/LocalDump/Install/Alsa/CVS/alsa-driver/pci/rme9652'
gcc -DALSA_BUILD -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE=1
-I/LocalDump/Install/Alsa/CVS/alsa-driver/include
-I/lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/build/include -O2
-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i586 -DLINUX -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe   -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -c
hammerfall_mem.c

make[1]: *** [_modsubdir_rme9652] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/LocalDump/Install/Alsa/CVS/alsa-driver/pci'
make: *** [compile] Error 1

It is obvious that it is having a problem with the hammerfall_mem.c
file, not the addition or removal of rme9652_mem.c file any more.

Does anyone else seem to have a problem with this one or is it just me?

Ico
