Description of problem: In order to get my sound through HDMI working I want to try out a snapshot of the ALSA drivers, however they no longer compile on F13. On F12 it still works fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.33.5-124.fc13.x86_64 and newer kernels from koji as well. How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. execute ./configure from the alsa driver (from snapshot) directory 2. do a make 3. Actual results: Fails to compile Expected results: Compiles fine Additional info: Investigating why this no longer works reveals that it starts going wrong from the ./configure command. Items which should be detected properly are not. A few examples: checking for kernel version... 2.6.33.5-124.fc13.x86_64 checking for GCC version... Kernel compiler: Used compiler: gcc (GCC) 4.4.4 20100503 (Red Hat 4.4.4-2) *** NO PREDEFINED KERNEL COMPILER IS DETECTED *** Assuming the same compiler is used with the current system compiler. *** Please make sure that the same compiler version was used for building kernel. Reason: /lib/modules/`uname -r`/source/include/linux/compile.h is not there (it is on F12) Some others (excerpt): checking for existing ALSA module... no -> yes checking for processor type... unknown -> x86_64 checking for SMP... no -> should be yes checking for HPET support... no -> should be yes checking for USB support... no -> should be yes checking for GFP_DMA32... no -> should be yes etc It seems there's something missing or things changed. Did something change in the kernel build process for F13 and rawhide?
Nothing has changed in a long time there. There was an ALSA bug that has been fixed since then. Also, HDMI audio is working now in 2.6.34.6-47
