Can you please give a complete log of the build?

checking for which soundcards to compile driver for... emu10k1 bt87x via82xx

it works here.

Sorry for the garbage :-/
Comment 5 Stefan Wimmer 2006-12-01 05:52:59 UTC 
Diego, I read in your blog about alsa that alsa-driver-1.0.14_pre20061130 is for 2.6.19? Can this be the problem since I use still 2.6.18?

Just a thought
Stefan

Comment 7 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-12-01 06:30:55 UTC 
Okay the problem is not the kernel..
Can either of you two try after merging automake 1.10 ?
Comment 8 Giacomo Perale 2006-12-01 06:54:40 UTC 
Same error:

Comment 9 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-12-01 06:59:48 UTC 
Uhm, get a try to autoconf ~arch too?
I'm not really sure what's changing between my system and yours a part for those which could get a problem.
Comment 10 Giacomo Perale 2006-12-01 07:27:22 UTC 
No difference. The problem seems to be specifically due to emu10k1, because I can build the modules with ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0"

Comment 12 Jonathan Coome (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-12-03 16:06:02 UTC 
It's happening to me too, but interestingly the configure script accepts "emu10k1x". I don't know what the difference is though, so I haven't tried it yet...

Comment 13 Stefan Wimmer 2006-12-05 18:54:53 UTC 
I fixed the problem by using the solution in http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3764321.html :

I enabled 

Device Drivers -> Generic Driver Options -> Userspace firmware loading support

in my kernel config and could compile the latest alsa-driver without a glitch.

PS: Is it allowed for me to change the status to FIXED?

Comment 15 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-12-06 03:06:25 UTC 
It's not fixed, yet, I'll see to make the ebuild check for that.
Comment 16 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-12-06 04:38:24 UTC 
Now fixed in CVS.
