Thanks for your response.? I was hoping to catch the attention of someone on 
the opensound development team.? What exactly are setup/gen_driver_<os>.inc & 
setup/srcconf_<os>.inc supposed to do.? What I mean is, what's the specifics of 
what they're doing?

In general all operating system dependent code is under kernel/OS/<OS>. 
Practically everything else should be fully portable and must not be 
modified. However the setup/ directory contains may kind of stuff that 
is operating system dependent:

- setup/<OS> contains files that are used when building OSS (make 
build). Contents of setup/<OS>/oss will be copied to /usr/lib/oss in the 
target system but none of the other files get distributed to the target.
- setup/gen_driver_<os>.inc and setup/srcconf_<os>.inc contain operating 
system dependent code that generates Makefiles/etc for the given 
plattform. These files are included from setup/srcconfc.
- setup/make.local contains OS dependent Makefile rules.
- setup/build.sh is a script that actually builds the prototype tree 
(prototype/) for OSS. This prototype tree will then be packed to an 
install archive to be transferred to the target system.

Best regards,

Hannu
