this seems to shed some light on the subject, maybe a simple patch would fix
things up?

[Comment 2 Kevyn Shortell (RETIRED) 2002-06-07 19:23:53 UTC]

included proposed workaround by gerk:

Ok, if I untar kdemultimedia and change the two include statements for
the alsa headers to;

#include </usr/include/alsaasoundlib.h>

make will complete without errors. For some reason just having #include
<alsa/asoundlib.h> does not work but the full path does.

So how would the BUILD be changed to delete these two include statements
in /usr/src/kdemultimedia-2.2.2/kmidi/alsa_a.cpp and change them to
"#include </usr/include/alsa/asoundlib.h>"?

[Comment 3 Dan Armak (RETIRED) 2002-06-08 04:14:07 UTC]

You don't mind if I take it? kdemm is my responsibility really. 

[Comment 4 Dan Armak (RETIRED) 2002-06-08 04:27:07 UTC]

Um, I missed the ppc tag when I took the ebuild. But n/m that, because I know the solution :-) So, Gerk, I'm ccing you as my ppc liason :-)  This is basically the same as the infamous bug #2324. In other words, kdemm    does NOT support alsa 0.9* and cannot be made to link against it. And it's up    to the kde devs to fix it, and I don't know when they will do that.      The problem here is that the 3.0.1 ebuild doesn't explicitly disable alsa support. The newer 3.0.1.20020604 ebuild explicitly says, regardless of any use flags, myconf="$myconf --disable-alsa --without-alsa". And that should do it.     I don't know how exactly x86/general ebuilds move into the ppc profile, but this newer ebuild (which otherwise only adds bugfixes) should fix the problem. Please try it. 

[Comment 5 Dan Armak (RETIRED) 2002-06-08 04:45:34 UTC]

Sorry, my comment was misled by the topic that said 3.0.1. I now understand  that this bug exists in 3.0.1.20020604 but NOT in 3.0.1. That's very odd  because as I've said, the difference between 3.0.1 and 3.0.1.20020604 is that  one line that disables alsa support (which is right).    I'd like at the output of the ./configure section of emerge kdemultimedia, and at $T/eclass-debug.log (to see the parameters passed to configure). 

[Comment 6 Mark Guertin 2002-06-08 10:02:18 UTC]

Dan: Sorry I am unable to test that, it works perfectly on this box, and the box
where I had the problems died under the wrath of a kernel yesterday (filesystems
completely toast).  trance 9the bug reporter) can probably get you this stuff
thogh, I'll work with him later on today and try and get you the info you need.

Incidentily if you export USE="-alsa" and emerge it works ok.

[Comment 7 Dan Armak (RETIRED) 2002-06-08 11:07:12 UTC]

If that is so something is deeply wrong. Please read the ebuild, it does NOT depend on the alsa use flag in any way and is supopsed to always disable alsa support regardless of anything at all. 

[Comment 8 Dan Armak (RETIRED) 2002-06-08 11:29:00 UTC]

Ok, it seems this was my fault all along :-( I've committed the correct ebuild, please update and try gain and this time it really should build correctly and without alsa support. 

[Comment 9 Dan Armak (RETIRED) 2002-06-08 11:37:58 UTC]

*** Bug 3512 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

[Comment 10 Dan Armak (RETIRED) 2002-06-08 11:53:31 UTC]

Closing with both ppc and x86 confirmation from Gerk.
