I would like to install alsa-tools to manage my M-Audio Delta soundcard. * This package is not yet available for Debian amd64. * There is a Gentoo .ebuild package for alsa-tools for AMD64, I can't find info on getting the source or converting ebuild to deb. * I have alsa-tools working on 32bit Demudi partition, could or should i use 32bit alsa-tools with chroot? * There is alsa-tools package awaiting sponsorship for Debian by Mikael Magnusson, I presume 32bit.
Basically clueless, I decided to try Mikael's package. I d'loaded alsa-tools_1.0.8.orig.tar.gz from http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/alsa-tools/ . Unpacked the tarball in /usr/local Alsa-tools contains a number of different programs for different soundcards. The program I need is envy24control for ice1712 soundcards: pan64:/usr/local# cd alsa-tools-1.0.8 pan64:/usr/local/alsa-tools-1.0.8# cd envy24control pan64:/usr/local/alsa-tools-1.0.8/envy24control# ./configure checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... no checking for mawk... mawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. I can post the output of config.log if needed. I tried adding the URL for the source into /etc/apt/sources.list so I could try using apt-build: #alsa-tools 32bit deb http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main When I run apt-get update I get: Failed to fetch http://mentors.debian.net/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found This alsa-tools package is helpful to control a number of popular soundcards. There are legal questions associated with the sister package alsa-firmware that may be delaying alsa-tools acceptance into Debian. Any ideas on how i can get alsa-tools working on my pure64 system?
