| 4 | <para><userinput>rm include/linux/isapnp.h</userinput>: This is recommended
|
|---|
| 5 | by the alsa developers for this release only. It is due to an extra file
|
|---|
| 6 | being included in the tarball.</para>
|
|---|
| 7 |
|
|---|
| 8 | <para><kernel-version> should be replaced with your kernel version,
|
|---|
| 9 | including any EXTRAVERSION such as -ac1 or -aa2. If you are using a normal
|
|---|
| 10 | kernel tarball, it will simply be the standard number (such as
|
|---|
| 11 | 2.4.19).</para>
|
|---|
| 12 |
|
|---|
| 13 | <para><path-to-kernel-source-tree-to-build-for> should be replaced
|
|---|
| 14 | with the directory where the kernel source tree is for the version of the
|
|---|
| 15 | kernel you wish to build for. For example, if you want to build for kernel
|
|---|
| 16 | 2.4.19, it may be <filename
|
|---|
| 17 | class="directory">/usr/src/linux-2.4.19</filename>. This is needed because
|
|---|
| 18 | the alsa drivers must be compiled against the correct version of the kernel
|
|---|
| 19 | headers.</para>
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 | <para><userinput>--with-sequencer=yes </userinput>: This tells the
|
|---|
| 22 | alsa-driver package to build the sequencer modules for whichever soundcards
|
|---|
| 23 | you are building for. Most people want them so you will usually want to
|
|---|
| 24 | leave it set to yes.</para>
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | <para><userinput>--with-oss=yes </userinput>: This tells the package to
|
|---|
| 27 | build the OSS/Free emulation modules. Again, most people want this so it's
|
|---|
| 28 | probably best to stick with yes.</para>
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | <para><userinput>--with-isapnp=no </userinput>: Most sound cards these days
|
|---|
| 31 | are PCI and so ISA Plug and Play support isn't needed. If you are using an
|
|---|
| 32 | ISA soundcard, it's best to say yes here.</para>
|
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 | <para><userinput>--with-cards=... </userinput>: You can tell the script just
|
|---|
| 35 | to build the drivers for your particular sound card here. For full information
|
|---|
| 36 | on which drivers are available see <userinput>./configure
|
|---|
| 37 | --help</userinput>. If you aren't sure which chipset your soundcard uses,
|
|---|
| 38 | have a look in <filename>CARDS-STATUS</filename> in the alsa-driver source
|
|---|
| 39 | tree. If you want to build all drivers (for some reason) then
|
|---|
| 40 | simply leave out the <userinput>--with-cards</userinput> statement
|
|---|
| 41 | entirely.</para>
