 Posted: Thu Nov 06, 2003 4:05 am Post subject: Fatal compiling error when emerging ALSA |
 |
|
Ok, here's how it's going: I read everything on the ALSA how-to on the site, up to every little detail, so that I was making sure that I wasn't slipping on any keys or calling any insufficient commands. So now then, I call 'emerge alsa' with the necessary attributes (I think it was something of the following: env ALSA_CARDS='trident' emerga alsa. But that call isn't what's making the compilation fail, because I removed the attributes and just decided to do 'emerge alsa' by itself and it STILL failed) and it gives me this error, and promptly cancels the installation:
>>> emerge (1 of 1) media-sound/alsa-driver-0.9.8 to /
>>> md5 src_uri  alsa-driver-0.9.8.tar.bz2
>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Unpacking alsa-driver-0.9.8.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/alsa-driver-0.9.8/work
* Applying makefile.patch... [ ok ]
>>> Source unpacked.

I don't know exactly what's going on, but I'm assuming that it cannot grab the compiler for my kernel, since I didn't actually manually compile the kernel myself, I just used genkernel, which I'm afraid is what's causing the problem. And I might add, this is the first time that I've actually ran into a problem like this with ALSA. All other times that I've installed it happend to complete successfully with no noticeable problems thereafter. Can anyone help me with this? |

Check whether you have a /usr/src/linux/include/linux/compile.h
If you don't, at /usr/src/linux, make menuconfig, quit immediately and make dep. Try to install alsa again. |

I am having the same problem as the original poster here, and unfortunately this solution does not work for me. Under /usr/src/linuxinclude/linux/compile.h (where /usr/src/linux is a symlink to /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r8/), I have the following:
#define UTS_VERSION "#1 Fri Nov 7 16:04:56 PST 2003"
#define LINUX_COMPILE_TIME "16:04:56"
#define LINUX_COMPILE_BY "root"
#define LINUX_COMPILE_HOST "linuxbox"
#define LINUX_COMPILE_DOMAIN ""
#define LINUX_COMPILER ""
Any suggestions? Any further info I can provide? |

I was able to get it working tonight! Though I suppose technically I cheated..
From the original error message:
| Code: | checking for GCC version... Kernel compiler: Used compiler: gcc (GCC) 3.3.2 20031022 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r2, propolice)
Fatal error: Compiler type does not match
Decoded kernel compiler: type= version=
Decoded used compiler: type=gcc version=3.3.2 |
I changed the line in the file /usr/src/linuxinclude/linux/compile.h from
| Code: | | #define LINUX_COMPILER "" |
to
| Code: | | #define LINUX_COMPILER "type=gcc version=3.3.2" |
The question now is why this needed to be done manually, and what ramifications may this have in the future. (i.e. when gcc is updated) |

| You could also just compile a new kernel, the latest kernel versions have alsa built in. |

| Which kernel versions have alsa built in? I'm aware of 2.6 and I have that compiled in with alsa and wokring succesfully, except I can't get my 54g wifi in my laptop to work despite using the Linuxant driverloader thingy. I was always under the impression for kernels earlier than 2.6 that the best method was to use the alsa-driver separately? |

Thanks Astaroth33 
Rolling back to an earlier version of gcc didn't work but doing your suggested editing did.
| Code: | | #define LINUX_COMPILER "type=gcc version=3.3.1 |
Not only that but it also fixed a problem I had trying to install the Linuxant Centrino/54g driverloader wrapper |

Actually, we can both thank xkjyeah, who provided the critical piece of information..  |

'nother big thanks from me! I just started scouring the forums for a solution and by the 10th post or so I found this one.
