ALSA library installation
=========================
Installation from tarbal
------------------------
For installation you can use these commands:
./configure
make install
If ./configure command complain that alsa-driver package is not installed,
please, check if --prefix option is same for alsa-driver and alsa-lib
package. The configure script from alsa-lib package probably cannot find
header file asound.h in $prefix/include/sound directory (usually in
/usr/include/sound directory).
Note: If you change kernel sources frequently, please, check if you have
compiled and installed alsa-driver for current version of your kernel.
Installation using a build-in version of ALSA in Linux kernel
-------------------------------------------------------------
If you use a kernel build-in version of ALSA, use:
./configure --with-kernel=<version>
make install
The directory /lib/modules/<version>/build/include/sound must exists for
this kind of configuration.
You may also specify the full-base for ALSA kernel headers:
./configure --with-soundbase=<path_to_linux_include_dir>
make install
example:
./configure --with-soundbase=/usr/src/linux-2.5.5/include
make install
Compilation from CVS sources
----------------------------
You need also GNU packages automake and libtool installed in your system
to compile CVS sources of alsa-lib package.
For compilation you can use these commands:
libtoolize --force --copy --automake
aclocal
autoheader
automake --foreign --copy --add-missing
autoconf
./configure
make
The included cvscompile script does this job for you.
Note: Some automake packages have missing aclocal program. Use newer version
in the case.
Compilation of static library
-----------------------------
If you would like to use the static ALSA library, you need to use these
options for the configure script:
./configure --enable-shared=no --enable-static=yes
Unfortunately, due to bug in the libtool script, the shared and static
library cannot be built together.
