[linux-audio-user] Timidity and ALSA compile bug!

[jm]

Hi All,
I have been pulling my hair out trying to compile timidity...

I configure thusly...
./configure --enable-audio-oss --enable-interface=gtk 
--enable-audio=alsa --enable-server --enable-alsaseq

When I 'make' I get the following error.

I don't get it!  My /usr/include/sound|sys|alsa are all synced (to the 
alsa includes), but those defines dont exist in any of the includes anyway

I can;t ust a compiled RPM as I need the alsa-sequencer part, which 
isn;t compiled into any rpm I have tried (about 10!)

However, in the pcm.h there IS a var called  SND_PCM_FORMAT_U8 vs 
SND_PCM_FMT_U8.  I can't believe this... there must be a version of the 
pch.h that uses the FMT other than FORMAT.  This seems so obvious an 
error I can;t believe I see nothing on the net about it.  In addition 
snd_pcm_t is defined twice... the type in pcm.h conflicting with the 
instance in timidity's alsa_a.c

I have search thru every pcm.h I have.. with no luck.

I found one refernce in google 
(http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/alsa/alsa-driver/cards/Attic/card-dummy.c?rev=1.15) 
which refers to the card_dummy.c, but I don;t have (want) and dummy as I 
have a real card.

Does anyone have a clue as to why this is and how to fix it?

Thanks...
