[alsa-devel] hdspmixer/ubuntu
hi all,
the current version of ubuntu ships alsa-tools without hdspmixer [1], probably because of the problems of older versions with newer kernels (iirc a hardcoded preprocessor definition made the old version unusable). while it is still possible to compile a working hdspmixer from sources, this is quite inconvenient (especially for newbies).
questions: - is there a plan to release a 1.0.24.2, including the hdspmixer fixes?
- gitcompile currently does not work on ubuntu, but requires this patch [2] in order to run the autotools. according to the name, it is already required for older versions
- compiling ld10k1 fails with: make[1]: Entering directory `/home/tim/workspace/alsa-tools/ld10k1' Making all in setup make[2]: Entering directory `/home/tim/workspace/alsa-tools/ld10k1/setup' Making all in effects make[3]: Entering directory `/home/tim/workspace/alsa- tools/ld10k1/setup/effects' make[3]: *** No rule to make target `simple.emu10k1', needed by `all-am'. Stop. is this a problem on my side?
thanks, tim

I agree with David (from the bug report) that there might be some trouble with the build system or missing dependency.

That's not exactly true. I guess calling gitcompile in the hdspmixer sub directory (in contrast to the toplevel directory) would give you a working hdspmixer.
I don't know if Ubuntu provides non-security related updates after a release. If not, somebody should simply package a git checkout in a PPA.

this is *exactly* what i was trying to do. however simply copying the `debian' folder to a checkout doesn't seem to work because the configure scripts are missing. to generate this, i need the mentioned patch.
the easiest way would be to have a 1.0.24.2 bugfix release. i suppose this would actually make it into the ubuntu release.
