Hi Felipe, This looks like a compiler problem. Or an include file that isn't present. First of all: what distribution do you use? and what version of gcc? Second: make sure that the directory alsa-driver-0.9.5-isis/include contains a symbolic link named sam9407.h that points to the file alsa-driver-0.9.5-isis/pci/isisalsa/sam9407.h This link should be present in the package, but it could be lost during untarring. I do find it a very strange error. I'll look into it.

I'm using RH 7.3 and gcc 2.96 I have alsa-kernel from planet-ccrma 2.4.21.1-II.acpi, but yesterday I tried with 2.4.20-18.1.caps too and results was the same.

Possibly the problem arises from the gcc version you use. I use Redhat 8.0 which comes with gcc version >3. There are some differences between the 2.x and 3.x versions of gcc. I haven't tested with gcc 2.96. I'll try and figure out the problems (& solutions) as soon as possible. Pieter |

Hi all, I have corrected the compilation problems of Felipe. The new version at sourceforge.net should compile with gcc2.96. I have also added preliminary MIDI support to the driver: - The MIDI connectors on the breakout box are (by hardware) connected to the Maestro MIDI port. This port is also available on the joystick connector. The ALSA device name for the maestro MIDI device is "Maxi Studio ISIS MPU-401 (Maestro)". This midi port was already supported in the previous driver release. - The SAM device contains two MIDI devices: "Maxi Studio ISIS SAM Synth" and "Maxi Studio ISIS SAM MIDI". The first is the internal wavetable synthesiser of the SAM chip. The second is the MIDI port of the SAM chip. Note that these new midi devices aren't very usefull for now: - I still have to write a method to upload soundbanks into the SAM memory, so the synth is pretty much useless (for now). But the soundbank stuff is so damn complicated... - The SAM midi port isn't connected to anything on the ISIS PCB. So why support it you may ask... well: first of all it wasn't difficult to support it, because it's usage almost identical to the internal synth usage. And second, I plan to modify my ISIS PCB to connect the SAM midi port to the breakout box connectors. That way I'll have two midi ports available on the ISIS: one on the breakout box (=SAM midi port) and one on the joystick port (=maestro midi port). The modification is pretty simple... I wonder why the guys at guillemot didn't do it this way... probably because writing a driver would be more difficult. Don't expect these things to work yet, because I can't test them for the moment. I won't be able to work on the driver from July 30 to Aug 20 because I'm working (actually earning some money). After that, I'll have to apply for a PhD scolarship, and I don't know how much time that is going to consume. Probably a lot. From 3sept to 26sept I'm off to Mexico... So I guess the project is pretty much suspended until end september. I'm sorry. Maybe there is someone else who has some basic expierience with ALSA & linux drivers that can help me out? Anyway, try the new driver, http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/isisalsa/alsa-driver-0.9.5-isis-1.tar.bz2?download Pieter Pieter Palmers wrote: > Felipe Sologuren wrote: > >> Pieter Palmers wrote: >> > Hi Felipe, >> > >> > This looks like a compiler problem.
