[alsa-devel] gitcompile fail

[Mark Brand]

Thank you sincerely for your response, Clemens.

Please forgive my noobness, but is a full kernel compilation necessary?  
I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 with 4.4.0-57-lowlatency kernel and my module 
is closely based on the existing mtpav driver.  I believe I know where 
to place my source file, and what modifications to make to the 
appropriate Kconfig and Makefile.  I recall being able to specify which 
modules I wanted to compile in arguments to ./configure (followed by 
make modules), but I don't see that option anymore.  Please, could 
someone point me in the direction of a valid, step-by-step procedure?  
Every set of instructions that I've been able to find seems to now be 
out of date.

Thank you again, in anticipation (and apologies too!)
Mark Brand

Don't use that.  The ALSA drivers are part of the kernel; just compile
the kernel normally.

This is a kernel repository.
