[linux-audio-dev] ams compile issues [was: qsynth configure script fails on debian [qt]]

[Eric Dantan Rzewnicki]

I found and installed libqt3-compat-headers. The compile got much
further this time, but still no joy. There are a lot of compiler
warnings and errors. The errors would seem to indicate I'm using an
incompatible alsa version (or ams' alsa support is outdated ... ) I'm
working with the most recent tarball of ams-1.7.1 from sourceforge.

My current settup: (tail end of compiler errors below)
PII 400 768MB 
6GB / /dev/hda2
60GB /mnt/audio/ /dev/hdc1
drives tuned
128MB swap /dev/hda1
