[SOLVED] OSS SlackBuild not working properly

rkelsen · 08-25-2016, 09:08 AM

Actually, the SlackBuild works and installs properly, but when I try to run:

/etc/rc.d/rc.oss start

I get this:

Code:

Starting OSS...
Relinking OSS kernel modules for ""
This may take few moments - please stand by...

Relinking the OSS kernel modules failed

Any ideas?

Did you actually use this and downloaded the patches as well? https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/audio/oss/

rkelsen · 08-25-2016, 09:27 AM

Yes, I downloaded the whole kit from SB.o

Alien Bob · 08-25-2016, 09:28 AM

Care to share the compilation log?

rkelsen · 08-25-2016, 09:29 AM

Does OSS have to be enabled in the kernel? It seems to be looking for something in the kernel source tree...

I think you made a custom kernel: /lib/modules/4.4.14-rob2

rkelsen · 08-25-2016, 04:22 PM

Yes I did Willy, you're right.

What kernel options need to be enabled for the modules in the Slackbuild to compile properly?

It looks to me like the patch 'oss-v4.2-linux-4.0.patch' has not been applied. Compare that patch to your compilation error and you'll see what I mean. If you have a full log of running the SlackBuild, you will hopefully see whether or not it is successfully applying that patch before compilation starts.

You don't need to build OSSv3 in the kernel to use OSSv4. Just disable ALSA from loading and the module should load during startup via the oss rc script.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. It was half past 'too late' when I was trying this (with bleary eyes) last night. I may have missed some details.

I'm not in front of it now... have to go to work, but I'll have another go tonight.

Looking at the errors and comparing them to the patch, you might be right. Perhaps the patch didn't apply.

I'll have a look at the SlackBuild log, try a few things and report back later.

For some background: It has been years since I last compiled a custom kernel. It sure has gotten bigger since the last time I did it. I've chopped a lot of stuff out of my config, using the theory that if I don't know what it is then I probably don't need it. My config file is around 80kb and there is probably more stuff that I can chop off. I'm hoping to be able to get rid of ALSA entirely, so that might make it a little smaller.

P.S. It occurred to me this morning that I may have broken the first rule of Fight Club. Sorry.

You can disable each driver, but you need the soundcore available for OSSv4.

Thanks fellas.

It looks like the patch didn't apply properly.

All fixed now.
