[alsa-devel] Snapshot From ALSA Server
Hi,
When I try to compile alsa-driver from the snapshot from alsa server (eg alsa-driver-1.0.19.11.g5fc41.195.g772ce.tar.bz2), the compilation process fails at applying two patches : pci/hda/hda_beep.patch and acore/misc.patch
After manually fixing the patches, the compilation goes on and provides apparently valid modules (at least I get sound from them).
Why is it so ? In the said patches I see nothing specific to my environment. Could there be a missing patch or overlapping patches applied in a wrong order ? Are these tarballs compiled before being made available ?
Note : this problem does not occur in daily snapshots by Tagashi.
Regards
Jean-Pierre

Fixed now.

Because the .c files were changed without updating the patch files.

No; most developers use the alsa-kernel tree.
Best regards, Clemens

I don't ;)
alsa-driver-snapshot tarball on kernel.org(*) is also not always checked at updating. But, it's compiled and built on SUSE build-service immediately to provide the latest alsa-driver update packages, so I'll notice build errors sooner or later.
