[Devil-linux-develop] Alsa compiling...

[Andrzej O. <an...@ma...>]

Dears,

Alsa is probably not too often compiled. But I sometimes use ALSA for 
Asterisk. Attempt to compile alsa-utils fails:

> init_sysdeps.c:22: error: static declaration of 'strlcpy' follows non-static declaration

The explanation for this situation I found here:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/337937

Probably the last upgrade of glibc gave this effect.

What do you think about this?

Best regards

Is there a newer version available which fixes the issue?
I didn't see a fix in the bug report.

I searched but could not find any fix to alsa. I tried to compile the latest 
version of the project site: 1.0.23, but compilation reports the same error. I 
do not feel it so necessary to patch alsa-utils myself. Actually, I connected 
Alsa to the Asterisk for unusual applications. Virtually alsa can be useful 
only to the interception of telephone channels on a machine with Asterisk, but 
it probably does not apply, however, independent server-router but rather GUI 
installation. So I resigned for now of Alsa.

I think alsa must remain on DL in experimental state for some time.
