I've seen this problem in a few posts, even a similar one on this site. I have yet to see a fix, though. Supposedly rc1 fixed this, but it doesn't look that way.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Just to add... I also tried getting the HG version of this, and got the same error.

Does anybody know a solution to this? Should I go back and rebuild the kernel with the alsa driver instead, and just not have the absolute newest version? Does anyone know where I can find out what version of alsa the 2.6.19.1 kernel includes?

Nobody has any ideas about this? I tried the kernel included alsa driver, but I don't know what version of alsa-utils to use.

OK i think i kind of recognize this.
there is a problem with the configure script making a bad Makefile
the only thing i can think of is to try newer cvs version to see if its fixed

I tried the latest Hg version. Alsa uses Hg, not CVS, right?

Thanks for trying to help, though. I'm really stumped on this.

it has to do with the configure not finding the kernel capabilities.
somehow you need what would be for me
-I/usr/src/linux-2.6.18/include/asm-i386/mach-generic
in the makefile

i think but am not sure
that might keep jiffies.h from getting drawn into it all
might be more complicated than that
wish i could help more no way here to duplicate problem

Again thanks for the attempt, but I still got the same error. I already had a line like that, but including mach-default instead. I tried adding one for generic and that did not work

Still open to suggestions, although I have posted a bug report on alsa's site.

ok the ultimate dirty hack
see if you can just let the driver use its own version of these functions
go into kernel source (make sure you back up the file jiffies.h so you can put it back the way it was)
for me
/usr/src/linux-2.6.18/include/linux/jiffies.h
comment out at the bottom with // the two lines to look like this
Code:
//extern unsigned int jiffies_to_msecs(const unsigned long j);
//extern unsigned long msecs_to_jiffies(const unsigned int m);

I think that perhaps this has to do with the problem. It seems that from 2.6.18 to 2.6.19 this function has moved. There no longer is a jiffies.h.

Maybe this is the problem, but I was told that alsa's 1.0.14rc1 was supposed to fix problems related to 2.6.19.1.

yea the solution is way above my pay grade
so i'm just wasting your time here but
your compiler output shows a reference to the file
Quote:
include/linux/jiffies.h:290: error: previous definition of 'msecs_to_jiffies' wa
s here
could be you are pointed to the wrong kernel source code ?
perhaps this is why kernel capabilities are not being detected properly.

Eh. Embarrassing, but I was looking in the wrong directory. I forgot to go into linux/. Anyway, I found the file.

Mine is not extern, though. It's static. Used to be in a different file and now it's here or something? I'll still try commenting it out, but I wonder if that has anything to do with the problem.

Edit: Tried commenting it, but I end up getting some other errors still. I see that I originally got them, too. snd_pci_orig_save_state and others have problems with number of arguments. I think I will wait until I get a response on the alsa bug list, instead of hacking it up myself, because I don't know too much about this.

alsa 1.0.14rc2 compile error (New Questions...)
Well, I'm still trying to figure this out. I've posted a bug report on alsa, but in the past month haven't received help with it (I'm pretty sure the person mine was assigned to is gone.)

But, here's what I've just figured out myself. Configure writes these:

checking for kernel linux/jiffies.h... yes

checking for msecs_to_jiffies... no

I'm using rc2 now, by the way.

Code:
So, it finds jiffies.h, but not msecs_to_jiffies, which I know exists in jiffies.h.
Is this possibly a check to see whether alsa should include it's jiffies code, based on whether or not you have msecs_to_jiffies?

I'm including the significant part of config.h which says why it can't find msecs_to_jiffies, if anyone wants to take a look:

configure:9410: checking for msecs_to_jiffies

Any ideas? If it is a problem with my configure script or somehting, I have no idea how to hack that up. If it's something else, I could use input on that.

the errors you posted above are classic errors when using the wrong commands to compile internal kernel junk.

did you try (forgive if yes)
export HEADERS=/lib/modules/2.6.19.1/build
./configure --with-kernel=$HEADERS --with-build=$HEADERS
