I've had this problem as well. Building xbmc and mythtv from svn also failed with alsa related issues. Both compile without trouble when the linear plugin is included. (In reply to comment #0) > When media-libs/alsa-lib is compiled without the "linear" PCM_PLUGIN, > alsa-utils compile will fail with the wrong message (no linkable libasound). Looks like it's okay with 1.0.20 (In reply to comment #1) > I've had this problem as well. Building xbmc and mythtv from svn also failed > with alsa related issues.

Thanks guys Still no luck with alsa-lib-1.0.20, alsa-utils-1.0.20-r4. build.log and ebuild environment attached. If you need more info on my system, don't hesitate to ask...

Just a reminder: The problem is not that it fails but that I have to crawl into config.log to find out why. The error message displayed is wrong and confusing. libasound is present and linkable. It just does not have all the functions expected by configure. (In reply to comment #7) > Just a reminder: The problem is not that it fails but that I have to crawl into > config.log to find out why.

Frankly, I dont feel like tracking down the inter-dependencies between PCM plugins and alsa-utils so ......... patches welcome, if you can figure it out. :) This has been addressed by removing the ability to disable individual plugins in alsa-lib. There is such a thing as too much choice I am afraid. |
