[linux-audio-user] ALSA from CVS

[Mark Constable]

I'm attempting to resurrect the aabuild "alsa from cvs"
script but running into an issue with building alsa itself,
and also unsure of "the right" method to blend in alsa from
cvs with a kernel source tree.

Any comments about how to improve these two functions would
be appreciated and any clue as to the error when compiling
alsa-lib would also go down well.

setup_alsa()
{
    cd $CVSDIR/alsa
    if [ ! -d ./CVS ]; then
        echo "Just hit the enter key at the login prompt"
        cvs -d ':pserver:anonymous at cvs.alsa-project.org:/cvsroot/alsa' login
        cvs -z3 -d ':pserver:anonymous at cvs.alsa-project.org:/cvsroot/alsa' co -P .
    else
        [ "x$(find -type d -name CVS -cmin -720)" = "x" ] && cvs up -P -d
    fi
    cd $SRCDIR
    rm -rf alsa/*
    cp -a $CVSDIR/alsa/* alsa
    find alsa/alsa-kernel -type d -name CVS | xargs rm -rf
    rm -rf alsa/alsa-kernel/oss
    cp -a alsa/alsa-kernel/* linux/sound
    cp -a alsa/alsa-kernel/include/* linux/include/sound
    cp -a alsa/alsa-kernel/Documentation/* linux/Documentation/sound
}

Are the above steps copying the the alsa-kernel parts into the
linux source tree correct these days ?

build_alsa()
{
    cd $SRCDIR/alsa
    for i in alsa-lib alsa-utils alsa-tools alsa-firmware alsa-plugins alsa-oss
    do
        cd $SRCDIR/alsa/$i
        ./cvscompile
    done
}

I'm getting this error below in the first alsa-lib stage above...
