[alsa-devel] Problems building the daily snapshot...

[Brad Figg]

I had been building the daily snapshot from:
   http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/

Sometime recently this has stopped working. I am doing:
   ./configure --with-debug=verbose --with-kernel=/lib/modules/2.6.32-23-generic/build
   make

The make fails with:
   make[3]: Leaving directory `/karmic/home/work/alsa/alsa-driver/usb/usx2y'
   make[2]: Leaving directory `/karmic/home/work/alsa/alsa-driver/usb'
   make[2]: Entering directory `/karmic/home/work/alsa/alsa-driver/pcmcia'
   make[3]: Entering directory `/karmic/home/work/alsa/alsa-driver/pcmcia/pdaudiocf'
   make[3]: Leaving directory `/karmic/home/work/alsa/alsa-driver/pcmcia/pdaudiocf'
   make[3]: Entering directory `/karmic/home/work/alsa/alsa-driver/pcmcia/vx'
   make[3]: Leaving directory `/karmic/home/work/alsa/alsa-driver/pcmcia/vx'
   make[2]: Leaving directory `/karmic/home/work/alsa/alsa-driver/pcmcia'
   make[2]: Entering directory `/karmic/home/work/alsa/alsa-driver/misc'
   make[2]: Leaving directory `/karmic/home/work/alsa/alsa-driver/misc'
   make[1]: Leaving directory `/karmic/home/work/alsa/alsa-driver'
   make -C  SUBDIRS=/karmic/home/work/alsa/alsa-driver  CPP="gcc -E" CC="gcc" modules
   make: *** SUBDIRS=/karmic/home/work/alsa/alsa-driver: No such file or directory.  Stop.
   make: *** [compile] Error 2

   (The full build log can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~bradf/build.log)

I would have expected this make invocation to have been:
   make SUBDIRS=/karmic/home/work/alsa/alsa-driver  CPP="gcc -E" CC="gcc" -C modules

However, I believe this has worked this way for quite a while so that is probably
not the issue. I'd be interested in looking into this further but I don't understand
how the daily snapshot is created nor where the build infrastructure files (configure, et.)
come from.
