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

Why are you trying to install version 2.9.5? That code in ancient. The ALSA API has changed significantly several times since that code was released. It's no wonder you can't get it to compile. I compiled 2.13.0_rc2 last night. Works great, not to mention it has jack support. http://timidity.sourceforge.net -Reuben -----Original Message----- From: jm [mailto:jm@world.waena.edu] Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2004 9:16 AM Cc: A list for linux audio users Subject: [linux-audio-user] Timidity and ALSA compile bug!

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-dum…) 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?
