Bug 176073 – alas-tools 1.0.14-rc1: hdspmixer doesn't get installed

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Werner Dettmann 2007-04-26 07:11:41 UTC]

hdspmixer and hdspconf don't get installed. I have the following lines in my make.conf:

ALSA_CARDS="hdsp intel8x0 usb-usx2y usb-audio"
ALSA_TOOLS="hdspconf hdspmixer usx2yloader us428control ac3dec"

What's wrong here?

2. emerge alsa-tools
3. hdspmixer




Expected Results:  
hdspmixer should be installed

[Comment 1 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2007-04-26 11:52:33 UTC]

same with -r1?

[Comment 2 Werner Dettmann 2007-04-26 12:10:29 UTC]

Yes, no change with -r1. I don't want to go ~x86, so I didn't try the later ones.

[Comment 3 Werner Dettmann 2007-05-02 08:36:38 UTC]

Well, is there some workaround to get hdspmixer and hdspconf installed? I can't use the card without these.
Why does ALSA_CARDS appear in emerge --info, but ALSA_TOOLS doesn't? Is that normal?

[Comment 4 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) 2007-05-07 04:39:35 UTC]

ALSA_CARDS is a special kind of USE flag known as a USE_EXPAND flag.  They let us set an environment variable (in this case ${ALSA_CARDS}) that gets appended to the contents of USE.  This allows us to do some stuff that wouldn't be possible with USE alone.

ALSA_TOOLS is not a USE_EXPAND flag, it's just a regular variable that gets set in the ebuild and can't overridden by make.conf.

The bit that enables hdspmixer and hdspconf looks like this:

    if use alsa_cards_hdsp || use alsa_cards_hdspm; then
        ALSA_TOOLS="${ALSA_TOOLS} hdsploader"
        use fltk && ALSA_TOOLS="${ALSA_TOOLS} hdspconf hdspmixer"
    fi

so I'm guessing you need to add flfk to your USE flags.

Thank you, that did it for me.
