[alsa-devel] trouble compiling alsa-drivers

[Wallace, Brooke]

Package alsa-driver-1.0.14.tar.b2z also fails to compile with the same
error.
 
Is there a particualr version of the Kernel that is recommended to use?
 
I don't think the issue is with including the macro itself, it is
defined in adriver.h and including that file directly generates the same
error. Seems that MARCO depends on another MACRO "RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED" and
somewhere down the line there is a syntax error....

I will do some more digging around, but I don't want to go off the
deep-end hacking software I don't understand, at least not yet.

	Alsa 1.0.14rc4 is NOT the latest.  1.0.14 went final a few weeks
after, and there was a patch to fix build issues on Redhat's broken
kernels that went into it.
