[alsa-devel] alsa-utils-1.0.24.2 won't compile on x86_64 - CoreFoundation error
Apologies if this should have gone to alsa-user instead, but I've just tried compiling alsa-utils-1.0.24.2 on a Debian testing amd64 system, and configure gave a list of errors related to CoreFoundation. There were several similar to this in config.log:
... configure:4589: checking for CFPreferencesCopyAppValue configure:4607: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c -Wl,-framework -Wl,CoreFoundation >&5 conftest.c:11:42: fatal error: CoreFoundation/CFPreferences.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. ...
I ran ./configure with default settings. Kernel is 3.2.1 compiled for k8 from kernel.org source. alsa-lib-1.0.24.1 compiled and installed sucessfully.
Possibly a stupid question, but why is it checking for CoreFoundation on a Linux system?

Ask whoever wrote the GNU gettext automake macros. Probably it's easier to let this check fail than to add an OS check.

Are you sure that the error is related to this? My configure&make completes succesfully but in my config.log I have those lines too. Actually they're normal tests to check for the availability of CoreFoundation libraries.

Thanks for the replies. I think I found the problem. Debian testing puts some of the required libraries in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu instead of /usr/lib. Sorry for the noise.
