[Alsa-user] PCMCIA support kills 0.9.4

[Moshe Y. <sp...@po...>]

The latest CVS includes pcmcia support, and that's a problem. On my 
machine it will compile nicely; but when I attempt to load the "snd" 
module, I get a bunch of errors about pcmcia-specific functions that are 
not defined.

These functions are in the last few lines of wrappers.c and sound.inc.

The files attempt to avoid the problem by using #if 
defined(CONFIG_PCMCIA), but it doesn't help; even if I compile the 
package using --without-pcmcia, these functions compile and the modules 
won't load. The only way I can build if by deleting (well, #if 0) the 
entire final segment of the two files to get rid of the offending pcmcia 
functions.

I suspect that the "#if defined(CONFIG_PCMCIA) is failing because 
Makefile.conf has "CONFIG_PCMCIA = n" defined, and that translates to a 
defined variable, even though it's defined to be "n". Using "#if 
CONFIG_PCMCIA == 'y' " doesn't solve the problem.

This issue will, of course, become more problematical with time. I just 
intalled the debian 2.4.20-3-k7 kernel image, and the appropriate 
modules won't install because depmod fails. I am now stuck in some 
infinite loop...
