Alsa0.9.0beta12 on Mandrake Linux 8.2 HOWTO 0. Read the INSTALL file.
1. Edit the configure script by inserting -I/usr/src/linux/include at the end of lines beginning with "ac_compile=" and "ac_link=", but before the ending quote. I counted six places. ./configure will fail without this. 2. Delete the directory /lib/modules/2.4.18-6mdk/alsa or move it to ../ make install will complain about unresolved symbols without this. 3. Remove or rename /etc/asound.conf. Alsa will not start on re-boot with this file here. 4. Here is the alsa stuff from my /etc/modules.conf, which regards my via8233 sound card. Read INSTALL for your card. -------------- alias char-major-116 snd options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 above snd-via8233 snd-pcm-oss alias snd-card-0 snd-via8233 alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss --------------- The 'options snd...' line prevents scrolling lines beginning with, "modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module snd-card-1". 5. 'configure --with-cards=<your_card_here>', 'make install'. 6. I don't know if it was nessessary to get the driver working, but I also had installed alsa-lib-0.9.0beta12 and alsa-utils-0.9.0beta12 (useful). That's it. Thanks for all the alsa help! _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
