Open Sound System

Hi,

I am encountering compile errors when I try
to build oss.



What is wrong here?

Roman.

You're missing audio headers - I think you need to install SUNWaudh. Which version of Solaris do you use?

I am asuming you tried to run configure.

HOW do you run it? Please be sure to specify an absolute path to configure, e.g. /path/to/oss-foobar/configure --options and NOT ../../oss-foobar/configure --options and the like.

Check to see if you have the SUNWhea package installed - I think OpenSolaris 5/08 doesn't install the compiler and development packages.

Hi,

thank you for your answers.

What I am using:
OpenSolaris 2008.05

Which compilers do I have installed:
SunStudio 12 (over the packaging system)

To Ionic:
I am aware of how to access the path, but thank you.

I'll check if I have installed either SUNWaudh, or SUNWhea
respecitvely.

Roman.

I missed the SUNWaudh package. But the compilation
still not works. A lot of undefined symbol errors occurred.

Hello roman,

could you please try the following patch and report back, please? (against current HG): http://oss.pastebin.com/d316e8525 (seems like the Forum is not allowing pasting code - it replaced some necessary things...)

[edit by cesium: I don't think this is neccesary since usba.h already includes usbai.h]

Hi Ionic,

sorry for the delay. If you mean the mercurial repository, that is
what I am using anyway. So I'll give it a try, by fetching the latest
bits. By the way, the pastebin site didn't show me any useful
information.

Roman.

Hi,

I assumed you would fetch the patch the same day.

http://oss.pastebin.com/mf5bbd8a here it is again.

Yeah, I mean the mercurial repository.

So for now I have the problem that configure states:

Cannot locate "sys/usb/usbai.h" (<>, doesn't work)

Roman

You need SUNWusbu package to be installed for that file.

Thank you for this hint. For now the build seemed to run
smoothly, but another packege might missing.



I have an awk installed found in /usr/bin. So if I could do
a symbolic link to gawk to get it work, I think I would be
done. Can I do that, or is there really gawk required?

By the way. It is really a shame that so many packages are
missing in order to compile as on SXCE.


Roman.

You're better off installing SFWgawk. (gawk is used for man pages since txt2man uses a GNU extension. Actually the install can avoid it and use a lower-quality method, not sure why it doesn't).

So it's me again ...

Sorry, SFWgawk couldn't be found in the repository. Where could
I find that package?

Roman.

Hi,

could you please install CSWgawk? I had a quick look at the Blastwave repo and found it there with this name.

I hope that's working.
