Creating package for ALSA (1.0.8)

[gray-squirrel]

I'm making a second attempt to install the ALSA driver for my SoundBlaster Live 24 card, using the method indicated here:

http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=90885&postcount=1


I used this method when I had the 386 kernel, but lost all sound after downloading the K7 kernel and removing the 386 kernel. When I decided to get sound back on my machine, I tried to compile version 1.0.9 (as opposed to 1.0.8 ) and somehow all drives, save the hard disk drives, ceased working and I lost modem support (not to mention that sound did not come back), so I ended up reinstalling the K7 kernel image.

This time, I followed the directions indicated above, but when I got to typing in sudo debian/rules binary_modules KSRC=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/ KVERS=$(uname -r), the computer gave the following output.

Although I know that a package could not be made because _KVERS_ was inserted when it should have been the kernel version number, I couldn't find out why the kernel version number would not be inserted in file names, as it is a variable. I could not find anything wrong in the debian/rules file for the ALSA 1.0.8 driver. I even used `uname -r` and the actual revision number, both in the command line and in debian/rules in an attempt to force the computer to put the version number in the file name, and it didn't work.

A couple of days ago I came across something that could have been very helpful. I found that KVERS to be "empty" (by typing echo $KVERS), and that I could export the value (export KVERS=`uname -r`) so that the script could actually use something. Somehow it appears debian/rules ignores it, and after I get the error message like the one above, KVERS is reset to a null string.

Here's the debian/rules file, located in my usr/src/modules:

Is there something I'm overlooking which could actually get the source compiled into a package?

Many thanks in adavance for your help.

[mazg]

I have the same problem when I try to build the package. Have you found a solution yet?
Or can anybody else point me in the right direction?

[mazg]

Should have known........ It was as simple as doing:



apt-get remove alsa-source
apt-get install alsa-source


After that every thing seemed to go fine. :smile:

[openmind]

YESSSSS!!!

That was it! after weeks of trying; I*Have*Sound!!

I've searched and tried everything on these forums (and elsewhere) and had almost given up. The reinstallation of the Alsa-source was it. I resignedly went back to alsamixer to "Unmute" for the thousandth time, but this time the speakers started to hiss! I can't explain the joy and relief I felt when I started to play a tune!!

Thank you.

[gray-squirrel]

I thought I had alsa-source deleted and reinstalled. I'll check on this in the evening and post on what happens. (It's been the first time in probably two weeks since I was on the forums, please forgive the delay in my reply.)

Thanks again.

[gray-squirrel]

I removed, then re-installed alsa-source, and then started the instructions from the beginning. Here's what I have so far.

I'm going to dig around and see what is going on. I think something is missing from my system. I don't have any old ALSA modules lingering around since they were removed on the last kernel update.

I think I know what happened. It never occured to me that I may have to have kernel-source-2.4.27 installed as well. I was notified that it would have to be if I wanted to install alsa-source via aptitude. I declined because I didn't think it was necessary, since I have a 2.6.10 kernel and kernel source. So I went ahead and used apt-get to download alsa-source.

Were any of you able to do this without kernel-source-2.4.27? If so, I can see what else might be the cause. Thanks again.
