Hi,

I just tried to install alsa-tools several times on my powerbook, but it fails to compile. Here is the output:

1) What tool was it trying to compile when it failed.  Try removing it from ALSA_TOOLS if you don't need it (and ppc guys might want to remove the failing one  by default).

2) Can youu try alsa-tools-1.0.4

[Comment 2 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2004-04-12 03:22:38 UTC]

don`t know what tool fails to compile, so I can`t remove it from the list... but alsa-tools 1.0.4 compiles and works (as I can say in less than 5 minutes testing ;-)

I also upgraded to alsa-lib, alsa-oss and alsa-utils to version 1.0.4. Seems to be stable, but I`ll post in a few days if it is realy stable.

[Comment 3 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2004-04-18 10:29:01 UTC]

Just want to let you know: 1.0.4 works perfect!

Markus

[Comment 4 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2004-04-18 12:00:00 UTC]

see the comments... 1.0.4 and above is required for 2.6 kernels.

[Comment 5 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2004-04-19 07:41:13 UTC]

whick comments?

Markus

[Comment 6 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2004-04-19 12:19:11 UTC]

the einfo comments that get printed when you emerge the package:

einfo "Version 1.0.3 and above should work with version 2.6 kernels."

Also, the alsa howto mentions this as well.
