Alsa-driver does not make on Mandrake 9.2 with kernel 2.4.22


I have had some trouble getting the latest alsa 1.0.11 to compile and with the kernel 2.4.22-10mdk on Mandrake Linux 9.2.

I am upgrading alsa so bmpx works. Has anyone gotten that to work on Mandrake 9.2?

The problem I have is that alsa-driver does not make. Scroll down to see where the error occurs.

Moved away from mandrake/mandriva a while ago now, so I can only suggest the obvious i.e. 9.2 is now rather elderly, is it not worth the effort of updating the entire distro to Mandriva 2006 and a 2.6 kernel as I believe that ALSA support is included in the 2.6 series kernels???

Sorry if that is "stating the bleeding obvious", but I'd guess that support for mandy 9.2 is pretty much finished.

Good luck with your quest.

regards

John

Thanks for your response. You may be right that Mandrake (even that word itself) is quite aged. I just wanted to maintain the machine that I spent months to fully understand and configure the way I wanted.

You are absolutely right that 2.6+ kernels come with alsa support already. That is certainly a benefit and I will look into getting a new distro. My Linux needs have changed to be more server-related, so I might try SuSE or Debian.

At first I found posting this topic in the newbie section an injustice to my fond experience with Linux, but from this "quest" I realize an important lesson for all newbies:

Don't always go for the latest and greatest.

BMPx is still under development and is not released with any major distribution yet. Until it is stable, BMP 0.9 is just fine. It's XMMS-compatible too, so what's wrong with that?
