Hi, I have finally managed to build the alsa-lib and alsa-utils RPMs on my test machine, having upgraded to RedHat 7.3. The highlights of this patch are:
- the Versions linker script was not being tarred up - using $(AMTAR) instead or $(TAR) in the Makefile.am - using -j instead of -I to compress using bzip2 rather than gzip As they say, "it works for me" :-) Cheers, Chris Index: alsa-lib/Makefile.am =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/alsa/alsa-lib/Makefile.am,v retrieving revision 1.16 diff -u -u -r1.16 Makefile.am --- alsa-lib/Makefile.am 20 Nov 2001 09:32:19 -0000 1.16 +++ alsa-lib/Makefile.am 6 Oct 2002 18:48:23 -0000 @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ dist-hook: -chmod -R a+r $(distdir) - $(TAR) cvIf $(distdir).tar.bz2 $(distdir) + $(AMTAR) cvjf $(distdir).tar.bz2 $(distdir) doc-dummy: Index: alsa-lib/src/Makefile.am =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/alsa/alsa-lib/src/Makefile.am,v retrieving revision 1.38 diff -u -u -r1.38 Makefile.am --- alsa-lib/src/Makefile.am 17 Sep 2002 12:33:05 -0000 1.38 +++ alsa-lib/src/Makefile.am 6 Oct 2002 18:48:23 -0000 @@ -1,4 +1,5 @@ SUBDIRS=control mixer pcm rawmidi timer hwdep seq instr compat conf +EXTRA_DIST=Versions COMPATNUM=@LIBTOOL_VERSION_INFO@ lib_LTLIBRARIES = libasound.la Index: alsa-utils/Makefile.am =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/alsa/alsa-utils/Makefile.am,v retrieving revision 1.15 diff -u -u -r1.15 Makefile.am --- alsa-utils/Makefile.am 20 Nov 2001 09:05:27 -0000 1.15 +++ alsa-utils/Makefile.am 6 Oct 2002 18:48:23 -0000 @@ -7,4 +7,4 @@ dist-hook: -chmod -R a+r $(distdir) - $(TAR) cvIf $(distdir).tar.bz2 $(distdir) + $(AMTAR) cvjf $(distdir).tar.bz2 $(distdir) ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
