Hi Norv,
I just compile that tool fine on y system I am using
debian-pure64 with some gcc4 packages (had not down graded yet) but alsa* are all non gcc4. I also have ia32-lib installed and am using 2.6.12-rc2 with
[*] Kernel support for ELF binaries
<M> Kernel support for MISC binaries
[*] IA32 Emulation
[*] IA32 a.out support
I doubt generated binaries would be of any use if you want to try let me know and I can send binaries

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? Cheers, Norv
