Bug 21990 – media-sound/alsa-driver-0.9.3c-r1 doesn't configure with gcc 3.2.3

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stephane Chomat 2003-05-31 04:50:09 UTC]

The configure script doesn't works with gcc 3.2.3 :

checking for GCC version... Kernel compiler: version gcc 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo
Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r1, propolice) Used compiler: gcc (GCC) 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo
Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r1, propolice)
Fatal error: Compiler type does not match

!!! ERROR: media-sound/alsa-driver-0.9.3c-r1 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 57, Exitcode 1
!!! ./configure failed

it 's the same version of GCC.

My kernel compiler version is :
version gcc 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r1, propolice)

gcc --version | head -n 1
gcc (GCC) 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r1, propolice)

uname -r
2.4.20-gentoo-r5
I propose this in the configure.in

diff configure.in.old configure.in.new
170c170,176
<    for (ptr = LINUX_COMPILER, dptr = compiler; *ptr != '\0' && *ptr != ' ' &&
*ptr != '\t'; ptr++, dptr++)
---
>    ptr = LINUX_COMPILER;
>    if (!strncmp(ptr, "version", 7))
>         ptr += 7;
>    if (*ptr != '\0' && (*ptr == ' ' || *ptr == '\t'))
>         ptr++;
> 
>    for (dptr = compiler; *ptr != '\0' && *ptr != ' ' && *ptr != '\t'; ptr++,
dptr++)

I had a similar problem, but it is fixed in alsa-driver-0.9.5.
Reporter, can you please try if this fixes the issue for you?

Do you have /usr/src/linux symlink pointing to your current kernel-sourcetree?

[Comment 4 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2003-09-30 12:21:40 UTC]

try alsa-drivers 0.9.6 and report here

[Comment 5 Arcady Genkin (RETIRED) 2003-10-02 18:27:22 UTC]

I recall seeing something to this effect in one of the ALSA mailing lists.
 IIRC, it was fixed somewhere around 0.9.4.  Could you please try 0.9.6 as
it is going to be marked stable very soon now?

The worse is when you are emerging the system just after the install! Trying
to fall back to an older version meanwhile...

[Comment 7 Patrik Kullman 2003-10-20 03:56:37 UTC]

Also having this problem with alsa-driver 0.9.7[ac].

[Comment 8 Ioannis Aslanidis (RETIRED) 2003-10-20 11:59:57 UTC]

Easy workaround:

edit /usr/src/linux/includes/linux/compile.h
and add/fill the following line:

#define LINUX_COMPILER "gcc (GCC) 3.3.1 20030927 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.1-r5,
propolice)"

(Try to add YOUR version, not mine ;))

[Comment 9 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2003-12-07 17:17:15 UTC]

closing with 0.9.8
