Trouble installing ALSA!
I am running Debian v.3.0 r4, and I'm trying to install the ALSA program, so that I can get the soundcard up and going.
I've downloaded the source-files from the alsa homepage. When I try to run ./configure , I get this error message: checking cross compile... checking for directory with kernel source... /usr/src/linux checking for directory with kernel build... checking for kernel version... expr: syntax error expr: syntax error expr: syntax error failed (probably missing /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h) Does anyone know what's wrong?? |
u need to check that u have this file in place
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h do u have the kernel source regards |
Yes, I downloaded the kernel source package with apt-get. They are now installed in /usr/src/kernel-- blabla , and I made a symlink /usr/src/linux to that dir. But what's funny, is that the version.h didn't show up in the /usr/src/linux/include/linux/ directory, after I installed the kernelsource... And I still get the same error msg when trying to ./configure alsa..

which kernel versin are u using?
i have that file, i think it is because i recompiled my kernel! i think if u do not have that u need to make one regards |
I believe and really hope that the numbers behind the files in /boot indicates what kernel version I have on my system. Because I was not really sure which kernel version was installed, until I saw those numbers and assumed they were correct. 2.2.20 is the suffix of those filenames, ie. vmlinuz-2.2.20. Then I used apt-get and found the kernel source matching that version number. Shouldn't I have done this?
Anyway, the version.h is still missing... And I miss playing my mp3s! Want to install Alsa.....! |
why donlt u try playing mp3 with other drivrs such as OSS ,ESS ARTs
this is the contenets of my version.h file u may too create one #define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.10gm107" #define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132618 #define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c)) ~ this release is the name of my custom kernel regards |
