Description Karl Trygve Kalleberg (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-06-07 15:36:16 UTC
With my use flags, it summarises its configuration thus:
Configuration:

  Install path:                       /usr
  Use libmad shared library:          yes
  Enable libid3tag support:           yes
  Build GTK interface:                yes
  Build OpenGL based visual plugins:  yes
  Build alsa 0.5.x output plugin:     yes
  Build alsa 0.9.x output plugin:     no
  Build jack output plugin:           no
  Build oss output plugin:            yes
  Build esound output plugin:         no
  Build sparc output plugin:          no
  Build sgi output plugin:            no
  Build nas output plugin:            yes
  Build vorbis input plugin:          yes
  Build mikmod input plugin:          yes
  Build audiofile input plugin:       no
  Build flac input plugin:            no


Then it compiles a few output modes (gtk, text) before it tries to compile the
alsa 0.5.x plugin:

make[3]: Entering directory
`/var/tmp/portage/alsaplayer-0.99.70-r1/work/alsaplayer-0.99.70/output/alsa-0.5.x'
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `alsa_out.c', needed by `alsa_out.lo'.  Stop.
make[3]: Leaving directory
`/var/tmp/portage/alsaplayer-0.99.70-r1/work/alsaplayer-0.99.70/output/alsa-0.5.x'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/var/tmp/portage/alsaplayer-0.99.70-r1/work/alsaplayer-0.99.70/output'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/var/tmp/portage/alsaplayer-0.99.70-r1/work/alsaplayer-0.99.70'

That apparently fails.

I cannot upgrade to newer alsa drivers, as they don't support my card (intel8x0
drivers). I have tried nagging the alsa-user list for input on this, but nothing
came out of it.

In fact, the alsa 0.5.x drivers don't work on the 2.4.18 and 2.4.19 kernels with
the intel sound card at all. The kernel OSS driver just oopses on load with
2.4.18 and 2.4.19.

Karl,

According to Andy, the upstream author: 

This bug has also been fixed in CVS, so consider it closed when the next
release comes out. I did a replace operation in the Makefile.am file at
one point and inadvertently mangled the source file name of the alsa-0.5
output plugin.


So, I guess we wait for the new version to come out, or I can resurrect the
older version of the player for you from our cvs attic.  Your choice..

If I am the only user of alsaplayer that experiences this problem, we wait.
Comment 3 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-06-07 21:12:42 UTC
I have uploaded a CVS snapshot of alsaplayer, which sorts this issue out.  Also,
I have fixed the ebuild to work with nas.
