Author: Vaughn Treude Date: Subject: Problem building alsa
Hello all:
Quick question - probably I've missed something obvious. I'm trying to build
the alsa drivers (version 1.01) on a machine running Red Hat 8. (It's a Sony
notebook, the sound has never worked under Linux, though it works in Windows.
This new alsa is supposed to handle my SoundMax driver hardware.) The
library portion built OK, but the "configure" file under the driver directory
is looking for a file called /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h. I
didn't have the kernel sources on this machine, so I got the CD and installed
the file kernel-2.4.18-14.src.rpm, then unpacked it as the "linux" directory.
For some reason there's no version.h file under linux/include/linux, so the
configure script still doesn't run (yes, I redirected it to
/usr/redhat/SOURCES/linux, which is the actual place RH puts it.) I suppose
I need to find a different SRPM to install but I don't have a clue which one.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
