Description David Mulford 2005-01-28 09:03:18 UTC

Trying to compile xmms-aalsa-0.5.4 fails.  Here are the errrors:

root@gmac # ./configure
checking for libasound headers version >= 0.5.0... found.
checking for snd_cards in -lasound... no
configure: error: No linkable libasound was found.
root@gmac # 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. download xmms-aalsa-0.5.4 from http://www.xmms.org/plugins.php?details=79
2. unpack the tarball to ~/.xmms/Plugins/
3. type ./configure

Actual Results:  
Could not find 'libasound'

Expected Results:  
Allow me to compile the plug-in successfully so I can properly play mp3's with xmms

I have alsa-driver-1.0.8, alsa-tools-1.0.8-r1 and alsa-utils-1.0.6 installed. I
also have alsa/oss disabled in my kernel and have only sound support enabled.

Comment 1 David Mulford 2005-01-28 09:11:40 UTC

Ok, apparently I was mistaken. I don't need the plug-in to properly play mp3's with xmms. I simply needed to change an output plug-in already in xmms to use the correct device (PowerMac Screamer).

Thanks, and sorry for the false alarm.
