Re: [aclug-L] alsa-sound (was compiling)

[Seth Turner <spiff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, this eve I decided to begin with the instructions you set out in last 
message.  Things are rolling along fine until I do make install while inside
the alsa-driver*/ and on running the make install I get the following:

mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.2.5/misc
rm -f /lib/modules/2.2.5/misc/snd*.o /lib/modules/2.2.5/misc/persist.o 
/lib/modules/2.2.5/misc/isapnp.o
cp modules/*.o /lib/modules/2.2.5/misc
/sbin/depmod -a 2.2.5
conf:79: missing argument

/lib/modules/2.2.5/modules.dep does not exist
make: *** [install] Error 1


this is at the very end of things, but I added a bit of the screen to perhaps 
show what was happening.

Ok, not to be hindered, I moved on to the next directory (alsa-lib*) just in 
case all was really well, but I just thought they weren't. Everything went 
smoothly in this directory.  Gaining a bit of inspiration, I thought keep 
pushing and moved on to alsa-utils* .

While in alsa-utils*/ the ./configure goes fine, however the make is not a good 
thing.  I get the following errors:

make[1]: Entering directory `/etc/ALSA/alsa-utils-0.3.0-pre3/amixer'
g++ -I/usr/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe 
-I/usr/local/include -I../include -c -o amixer.o amixer.cpp
make[1]: g++: Command not found
make[1]: *** [amixer.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/etc/ALSA/alsa-utils-0.3.0-pre3/amixer'
make: *** [all] Error 2


and make install seems to be broken as well.

So, at this point I am in pause waiting for your words of wisdom.  I did go to
/lib/modules/2.2.5 and modules.dep is there and it has stuff in it, so I don't
know why it isn't seeing it in the earlier reference.  I am clueless on the 
problem inside alsa-utils*/ when running make however.

Any ideas?
