 Posted: Thu Sep 09, 2004 10:58 pm Post subject: error in emerge nforce-audio |
 |
|
when I tried to emerge nforce-audio (for my Asus A7N8X-E motherboard) it seemed to get through calculating dependencies & unpacking OK but then gave a compile error:
In file included from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/irq.h:20,
from /usr/src/linux/include/asm/hardirq.h:6,
from nvhw.h:31,
from nvhw.c:16:
/usr/src/linux/include/asm/irq.h:16:25: irq_vectors.h: No such file or directory
and then a few more errors about undeclared variables which I guess resulted from the above.
So the end result is
ERROR: media-sound/nforce-audio-1.0.0261 failed.
EDITED typo in filename on next line; s/b irq_vectors.h (originally omitted the 't')
Similar errors occurred on emerge nforce-net, from the same missing file: irq_vectors.h
ending with: ERROR: net-misc/nforce-net-1.0.0256 failed.
What now?

| You need to give more information. What kernel version do you use? (Because it chokes on a missing kernel header file) |

I suggest you use the intel8x0 sound driver as long the nvidia doesn't compile with your kernel.
And I strongly suggest you do an update to the last available gentoo-dev-kernel. (2.6.8-gentoo-r1).
Update:
From Changelog of nvnet driver: | Code: | 26 Aug 2004; Heinrich Wendel <lanius@gentoo.org>
nforce-net-1.0.0261-r2.ebuild:
make it compile on kernel 2.6.8 and higher, bug #61203
|
(So update to the newest kernel and give it a try)
In Changelog that last stable driver version from nvaudio is from 2003 (oollldd!!) and if I remeber posed to mucht problems, so most people go with intel8x0 driver. |

I couldn't find the intel sound driver when I did menuconfig. Can you point me to it?

I can't find that either.
emerge --pretend gentoo-dev-sources just gives me sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.7-r11
I guess that's because my portage tree came from the livecd. Do I have to emerge sync now before I can upgrade the kernel?
I still want to install GRP packages. I think I have to do that before emerge sync, right? |

| Yeah, you should emerge sync first, especially when installing off the Live CD since it's bound to be a few weeks/months out of date. |

Look under Device Drivers => Sound => Alsa => PCI devices => intel 8x0 if you compile your kernel. |

That's funny. I had that selected all along. And yet, I don't have the snd_intel8x0 driver files anyplace. (find / -iname 'snd_intel8x0' returns No such file or directory).
Would it not exist as a separate driver file because it was built into the kernel? |

Compile all as modules under the sound section in device drivers. Select what is named in the file above. (Use help to see the module names if title isn't descriptive enough)
Compile your kernel. Make sure you emerged alsa-utils and lib-alsa and put the file above in /etc/modules.d/alsa, rc-update add alsasound boot and you should be set.
You'll not find any file if you compiled into the kernel.
My module is located here: | Code: | | /lib/modules/2.6.8-gentoo-r3/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.ko |

In the menuconfig:
I have selected "M" (as modules):
<M>Sound card support
submenu: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture:
<M>Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
<M>Sequencer support
<M>OSS Mixer API
<M>OSS PCM API
[*] OSS Sequencer API # this one won't accept "M"
submenu: PCI devices
<M>Intel i8x0/MX440
question:
Is this OK, or should the first one be selected as <*> (built into kernel) instead?
(or does it not matter which way?) |

| IMHO it does not matter. I compiled everything possible under sound as module. Then the rest is done by tha alsa init script. So I say your config is fine go for it and post the results. |

Finally getting back to this...(sorry for the delay)
I followed all your instructions (I think), but at:
rc-update add alsasound boot
I get:
/sbin/rc-update: /etc/init.d/alsasound not found; aborting.
Where was that alsasound file supposed to come from? |

| Only the alsa-driver is in the kernel, you still need to emerge alsa-utils and alsa-libs for alsa to work properly (and don't forget to unmute your soundcard as well!) |

the only thing is that ALSA sucks for the SoundStorm chipset ... coz it does not support 5.1 channel sound and hence is wasting ur HW [AFAIK]
