oss4 not compilable on gentoo

[igorzwx]

tar.bz file from your site lacks install.sh file.

It is not true. It is not missing.

The tar.bz2 package has the install.sh script:

Code: Select all

 .../oss-linux-v4.2-2011-i386/usr/lib/oss/build/install.sh
 .../oss-linux-v4.2-2011-amd64/usr/lib/oss/build/install.sh

Do you have your drivers in /usr/lib/oss/etc/devices.list ?

Code: Select all

$ cat /usr/lib/oss/etc/devices.list | grep "CMedia CM8738/CM8768"
oss_cmpci   pci13f6,111   CMedia CM8738/CM8768

Code: Select all

$ cat /usr/lib/oss/etc/devices.list | grep "Creative Sound Blaster Audigy/Audigy2"
oss_sblive   pci1102,4   Creative Sound Blaster Audigy/Audigy2

Your "installed_drivers" file should look like this:

Code: Select all

$ cat /usr/lib/oss/etc/installed_drivers
oss_cmpci #CMedia CM8738/CM8768
oss_sblive #Creative Sound Blaster Audigy/Audigy2
oss_usb #Generic USB audio/MIDI device (BETA)

You may try to create it manually.

Manually created that file and gave soundon command. It told /etc/installed_driver is missing. I copied that file to /etc/installed_drivers. I gave soundon again but i got error

This package is not likely to be patched for new kernels.

You may try git:

Get the source code using GIT:

Code: Select all

git clone git://opensound.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/opensound/opensound

_http://www.opensound.com

It can be patched (if it is needed).

You may also want to read the manual _http://www.opensound.com/wiki/index.php/Building_OSSv4_from_source

NOTE: Before re-installing OSS4, you have to remove the old folder /usr/lib/oss/

yes i have drivers strings in /usr/lib/oss/etc/devices.list

To create the "installed_drivers" file, you may try this command:

Code: Select all

$ sudo echo "oss_cmpci #CMedia CM8738/CM8768
oss_sblive #Creative Sound Blaster Audigy/Audigy2
oss_usb #Generic USB audio/MIDI device (BETA)" > /usr/lib/oss/etc/installed_drivers

Check the result:

Code: Select all

$ cat /usr/lib/oss/etc/installed_drivers

If it looks like this:

Code: Select all

$ cat /usr/lib/oss/etc/installed_drivers
oss_cmpci #CMedia CM8738/CM8768
oss_sblive #Creative Sound Blaster Audigy/Audigy2
oss_usb #Generic USB audio/MIDI device (BETA)

you may run "soundon":

Code: Select all

$ sudo soundon

You may try to compile OSS4 from git (see above).

Compilation from github is also failing due to recipe for target ossdevlinks.o failed. Where is that patch for 4.0.5 kernel?

how do i apply that gcc patch?

If you do not know what "patch" is → _https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diff_utility

[ossuserr]

i know what's patch, tell me how to apply that specific patch because it asks for some paths to files.

i know what's patch, tell me how to apply that specific patch because it asks for some paths to files.

1. If you know what patch is, you may try to apply it manually through the help of a text editor of your choice.

2. If you do not know what patch is, you may try to read this: _https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diff_utility

os_linux.h is inside the folder /kernel/OS/Linux/ (source code of OSS4)

You can open it with a text editor and correct something, according to the "patch".

However, if you do not have the newest compiler, you may not need this patch.
