alsa-utils cross compilation error

alsa-utils cross compilation error

[Harish Kumar]

Hi,

I am trying to cross compile the alsa utils for PPC and as well as arm
architecture. the compilation of alsa-libs was successful with their
respective toolchains. But configuring the alsa-util is failing. I am
using alsa-utils-1.0.11rc2,alsa-lib-1.0.11rc2.  I am getting the error
checking for libasound headers version >= 1.0.9... not present.
configure: error: Sufficiently new version of libasound not found. I
feel i have to provide the path of the include files but not sure
which path to be passed and how it needs to be passed to configure.

Request your help to resolve the same.

I invoked the configure using the following command and the output of
the configure is as below.

root@localhost alsa-utils-1.0.11rc2]# CC=arm-linux-gcc ./configure

# ./configure --help | grep alsa | grep prefix
   --with-alsa-prefix=PFX  Prefix where Alsa library is installed(optional)
   --with-alsa-inc-prefix=PFX  Prefix where include libraries are (optional)

Hi,

I compiled the alsa libs using the following

CC=arm-linux-gcc ./configure --target=arm-linux --host=i686-linux
--prefix=/root/arm-alsa/
make
make install

changed the directory to alsa-utils and executed the following
1.
CC=arm-linux-gcc ./configure --target=arm-linux --host=i686-linux
--with-alsa-prefix=/root/arm-alsa
--with-alsa-inc-prefix=/root/arm-alsa
the configured failed with the same error
checking for ALSA CFLAGS...  -I/root/arm-alsa
checking for ALSA LDFLAGS...  -L/root/arm-alsa -lasound -lm -ldl -lpthread
checking for libasound headers version >= 1.0.9... not present.
configure: error: Sufficiently new version of libasound not found.


2.CC=arm-linux-gcc ./configure --target=arm-linux --host=i686-linux
--with-alsa-prefix=/root/arm-alsa
--with-alsa-inc-prefix=/root/arm-alsa/include
he configured failed with the same error

checking for ALSA CFLAGS...  -I/root/arm-alsa/include
checking for ALSA LDFLAGS...  -L/root/arm-alsa -lasound -lm -ldl -lpthread
checking for libasound headers version >= 1.0.9... found.
checking for snd_ctl_open in -lasound... no
configure: error: No linkable libasound was found.

3.CC=arm-linux-gcc ./configure --target=arm-linux --host=i686-linux
--with-alsa-prefix=/root/arm-alsa/lib
--with-alsa-inc-prefix=/root/arm-alsa/include

it worked partially as it is not able to find libcurses and ncurses. I
copied the required libraries and include file to the respective
directories and it started configuring and compiling without any
issue.

Thank you very much for help. I tried the above option but somehow
didn't work at that time and also my brain might have stalled during
the process.

Any way i still need to compile for PPC which should work with the
same proceure.

Thanks and Regards

Look at -I and -L options used below:

> checking for ALSA CFLAGS...  -I/root/arm-alsa
> checking for ALSA LDFLAGS...  -L/root/arm-alsa -lasound -lm -ldl -lpthread

So you are pointing wrong directories.  Pass like
  --with-alsa-prefix=/root/arm-alsa/usr/lib
  --with-alsa-inc-prefix=/root/arm-alsa/include
