Bug 37815 – alsa-driver 0.98 won't compile with gentoo-sources 2.4.22-r4

• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andrew Kruse 2004-01-10 11:18:32 UTC]

I compiled a new kernel after emerging gentoo-sources 2.4.22-r4 and now alsa-driver will not compile.

I emerge it using this command:

env ALSA_CARDS='emu10k1' emerge alsa-driver

since I have an Audigy Platinum card. I've looked for help on the forums to no avail. ALSA was working perfectly with previous kernels (2.4.20-gentoo-r9, 2.4.22-gentoo-r2) and now for some reason alsa-driver won't compile.

I have sound support enabled as a module with nothing else in the sound menu enabled. the Gentoo ALSA guide was followed when configuring initially...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Build 2.4.22-gentoo-r4 kernel
2.env ALSA_CARDS='emu10k1' emerge alsa-driver
3.

Actual Results:  
Here's the tail end of the emerge output for alsa-driver:

!!! ERROR: media-sound/alsa-driver-0.9.8 failed.

Expected Results:  
I would expect alsa-driver to compile... it has before on quite a few occaisions
just fine with new kernel source.

can you attach the .config from your kernel

[Comment 2 Andrew Kruse 2004-01-10 11:30:35 UTC]

Created attachment 23561 [details]
this is the kernel config I used

[Comment 3 Andrew Kruse 2004-01-10 18:26:04 UTC]

After running an emerge world (emerged latest versions of gcc and glibc) I am still seeing the issue. I have run out of options now short of using a 2.6 kernel, which I would rather not do at this point.

I am having the same problem with alsa-driver-1.0.1. I am running 2.4.20-gaming-r6 and gcc-3.3.2-r5. My emerge info:

I will attach my kernel config.

[Comment 5 Andrew Kruse 2004-01-18 20:53:00 UTC]

Looking in  /usr/src/linux/include/linux/autoconf.h, CONFIG_SOUND was not set and neither was CONFIG_SOUND_MODULE. After setting CONFIG_SOUND_MODULE I was able to compile alsa-driver but when I try to start alsasound, I get unresolved symbol errors when it inserts the module.

[Comment 6 Andrew Kruse 2004-01-20 15:19:04 UTC]

I've now resorted to running gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.1 and compiling the required driver statically in the kernel... thanks anyway.

I'm going to CANTFIX this, if you have trouble again, reopen, or open a new bug.
