When I use kbuild to build my custom sound hardware driver against the SDK in the kernel, it always trys to pick up the older ALSA header files that are in the SDK, but I want to use the newer versions that are in the directory with the newer version of ALSA. What the best way to make sure I get the correct headers? Is what I'm trying "dangerous" and should I be going about this a different way?
The best way of integrating with the toolchain you're using will usually depend on the toolchain - you'll generally be able to get better advice about how to work with the toolchain by asking people who work with the toolchain.
I guess I don't understand exactly what you mean by "toolchain." I've already contacted the people that package up the SDK and they said I should solve it myself. I originally hoped that I could just re-build the kernel without Alsa built-in, then add my new version of Alsa, but they claim that causes other issues (i.e. no sound at all).
