[Alsa-user] alsa install troubles-please help! (repost)

[Jamie L. <jl...@al...>]

I'm reposting this here, because I got no responses to my friday post, and,
well, if th elinux experts cant help me, i dont know where to turn!

I had some issues with my install and had to start from scratch, thought it
would be no problem, but now I am unable to complile the alsa drivers. I've
tried with several different installs of suse, from command line to minimum
graphical to default. Also, with 2.4.20 and 2.4.21 kernels. There must be
something I am missing here...

sequence:
fresh install of suse 8.2 with kernel sources
configure kernel with make cloneconfig, make dep (seems ok)
alsa-driver: ./configure --with-cards=pdaudiocf --with-sequencer=yes (seems
ok)
the problem seems to be in the 'make' and 'make install'

'make' proceeds, but stops after the following:

timer.c:955: error: initializer element is not constant
timer.c:955: error: (near initialization for `snd_timer_system.resolution')
make[1]: *** [timer.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-0.9.6/acore'
make: *** [compile] Error 1

so, if I try 'make install', I get:

rm -rf /lib/modules/2.4.21-67-default/kernel/sound
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-0.9.6/support'
make  -C pnp modules_install
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-0.9.6/support/pnp'
mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.4.21-67-default/kernel/sound/support/pnp

make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-0.9.6/support/pnp'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-0.9.6/support'
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-0.9.6/acore'

make[1]: *** [_modinst__] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-0.9.6/acore'
make: *** [install-modules] Error 1


what is going on here? I have a feeling it all goes back to the errors in
'make'. I know I'm not the first person to come across this, check out here:
