Open Sound System

Hi,

I'm trying to install the GPL version of OSS 4.2 2019 on Gentoo on an VERY old Via ME6000 PC that only supports i585.

I can successfully compile all the OSS sources on Gentoo Kernels 4.19.17 & 4.14.166 and it even detects the Lynx One sound card.

But when soundon tries to load osscore I get:
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'osscore': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

in dmesg:
[ 3599.432297] osscore: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.
[ 3599.449386] osscore: Unknown symbol _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ (err -2) or (err 0) on the older kernel version

I did the following to install:
tar -xvjf oss-v*.tar.bz2
ADDED "#include <sys/sysmacros.h>" to the list of includes in os_cmd/Linux/ossdetect/ossdetect.c
mkdir /usr/src/oss-build
cd /usr/src/oss-build
sh /root/oss-v*-src-gpl/configure --only-drv=lynxone
make build
make install

Which worked a few years back with kernel 3.xx, what am I doing wrong? Or is there an easier way to install it on Gentoo?

Thanks,
Ian

Try patching "setup/srcconf.c" with the following patch before running configure.
If that doesn't work run:
and post the output in your reply.

Thanks for your help/reply Clive.

I applied the patch for "Unknown symbol _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_" in aka's thread below, it also works for the 2019 version of oss.

I also needed to add "#include <sys/sysmacros.h>" to the list of includes in os_cmd/Linux/ossdetect/ossdetect.c

osstest works, now to figure out why I get a segmentation fault when my old music player application tries to use mpd/mpc....
