Re: alsa and modutils
No dice - did what you suggested:
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.17
/usr/src/linux -> /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.17
/usr/src/alsa-driver-0.5.10
/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver -> /usr/src/alsa-driver-0.5.10
New error:
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/alsa-driver-0.5.10/kernel'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux/include/linux/autoconf.h', needed by `sound.o'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/alsa-driver-0.5.10/kernel'
make: *** [compile] Error 1
this is because the /usr/src/linux/include doesn't have a number of the
important files in /usr/include/linux.
Anyone else managed actually to do this?
Thanks.
