Description Jurgen Kramer 2010-07-02 11:13:38 UTC
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
