Compile modules from packages?
 

Hi,

Is there a possibility to compile modules from a slackware package?
I have installed slackware 10.1 (complete) and Proftpd has no sql-modules. In some docs I 've readed that I need to run ./config --compile*BLABLA*
Is it possible to do this with packages or do I need to download the sources and install it all again?

The same problem I have with the ALSA-drivers, and PHP. They 're all missing some modules in the current instalation.

thx,
WorteL

Re: Compile modules from packages?
 

If you have to enable it while configuring, you'll have to download the sources (or take them from slack CD 3/4) and recompile/install. I wonder why ALSA and PHP miss modules although you did a complete install. I didn't a complete install, didn't install anything that was not on the slackware CD and my ALSA works fine :-)
Could you post some more detailed information? What package do you want to recompile and why? What modules do ALSA and PHP actually miss?

Thanks & Greetings,

For PHP it's the postgresql-module and for alsa its a lot of modules to let my ac97 onboard working. But for that ac97 I 'm not shure if its needed to be compiled. But in any case, it don't seem to work. I 've tried to modprobe some stuff (for example via82cxxx_audio) and it returns that it's not existing.

grtz,
