Re: [Alsa-user] Problem compiling latest alsa drivers on debian *pls help*

[<ana...@ya...>]

I'm running Debian Woody r1 and got alsa 0.91 and my 
nvidia drivers working after I did a kernel
compilation (ask if me you need any help with that). I
had to do some hacking about with a few files here and
there to get alsa working in the end too, giz a shout
if you need help with that, 'cos it takes a bit of
lateral thinking. 

Have you run make after a previous compilation
attempt, or use of ./configure? Anyway, there's a bit
of stuffing about here which you should be able to
avoid.

Firstly, run the following command (which is helpful
for more than just alsa):
ln -s /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.16 /usr/src/linux
That gets rid of the need for the --with-kernel=
option.

I'd keep the --with-sequencer=yes, but is the rest
really necessary after that? Have a go at ./configure
--with-sequencer-yes and then make install first, then
try the extra options later.

Cheers mate!
