Two things; A) ams ought to be affected by the alsa-lib compilation breakage explained here-> http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35412 B) disregarding that for a moment, it doesn't appear to be dieing due the alsa-lib problem listed above. I'm marking this bug as a blocker for #35412, since once whatever is going on w/ the compilation is fixed, it'll may break against alsa-lib-1.0. Note, what's listed below is from an attempt compiling against alsa-lib-0.9.8. Pretty much the entire make output- In file included from synth.cpp:10: synthdata.h:112:1: warning: no newline at end of file In file included from midislider.h:9, from configdialog.h:29, from module.h:28, from synth.cpp:12: midicontroller.h:34:1: warning: no newline at end of file In file included from midiguicomponent.h:9, from midislider.h:10, from configdialog.h:29, from module.h:28, from synth.cpp:12: midicontrollerlist.h:22:1: warning: no newline at end of file In file included from configdialog.h:38, from module.h:28, from synth.cpp:12: spectrumscreen.h:15:19: rfftw.h: No such file or directory In file included from configdialog.h:38, from module.h:28, from synth.cpp:12: spectrumscreen.h:52: syntax error before `,' token spectrumscreen.h:53: syntax error before `*' token spectrumscreen.h:54: syntax error before `*' token spectrumscreen.h:55: syntax error before `*' token spectrumscreen.h:56: 'rfftw_plan' is used as a type, but is not defined as a type.
