ALSA library installation
=========================

For installation you can use these commands:

Unfortunately, due to bug in the libtool script, the shared and static
library cannot be built together.
Partial Builds
--------------
You can choose the core components to build via --enable-* or --disable-*
configure option for reducing the size of libasound. The selectable
components are: pcm, mixer, rawmidi, hwdep, seq and instr.
For example, --disable-rawmidi will prevent to build the stuff related
with raw MIDI. As default, all components are enabled.
The PCM plugins to build can be selected via --with-pcm-plugins
configure option. Multiple plugins can be passed by separation with
comma. For example, to select _only_ rate and linear plugins (and
disable other plugins), pass
--with-pcm-plugins=rate,linear
Note that "hw" plugin is always enabled.
Passing "all" will select all available plugins (which is the default
behavior).
When you select "plug" plugin, copy and linear plugins will be
automatically selected, too. That is, the linear-format and
access-type conversions are always available with plug layer.
The other conversions of plug (channel shrink/expansion, rate,
non-linear and float conversions) are enabled when the corresponding
plugin is selected, too.
Configuration for cross-compilation
-----------------------------------
When you would like to cross-compile ALSA library (e.g. compile on
i686 host but for arm architecture) you will need to call ./configure
script with aditional parameters:
script with additional parameters:
CC=arm-linux-gcc ./configure --target=arm-linux
In this example host where the library is build is guessed (should be
given with --host=platform) and target for which is the library build is
Linux on ARM architecture. You should ommit setting 'CC' variable and
Linux on ARM architecture. You should omit setting 'CC' variable and
cross-compiler will be guessed too.
So simplest version would be:
