Archived from groups: alt>os>linux>gentoo (more info?)
Hi,

still having some alsa problems due to the fact, that no PCM modules are
built.

Thanks to this group know that I should add

ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw copy dshare dsnoop extplug file hooks
ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null rate route share shm"

to /etc/make.conf

Unfortunately

emerge -1pv alsa-lib

gives me the following:

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.14a-r1 USE="midi -alisp
-alsa_pcm_plugins_adpcm -alsa_pcm_plugins_alaw -alsa_pcm_plugins_copy
-alsa_pcm_plugins_dshare -alsa_pcm_plugins_dsnoop
-alsa_pcm_plugins_extplug -alsa_pcm_plugins_file -alsa_pcm_plugins_hooks
-alsa_pcm_plugins_ladspa -alsa_pcm_plugins_lfloat
-alsa_pcm_plugins_linear -alsa_pcm_plugins_meter -alsa_pcm_plugins_mulaw
-alsa_pcm_plugins_multi -alsa_pcm_plugins_null -alsa_pcm_plugins_rate
-alsa_pcm_plugins_route -alsa_pcm_plugins_share -alsa_pcm_plugins_shm
-debug -doc" 0 kB


So all PCM modules still are deselected. Somehow my use flags are
ignored. Am I missing something?

thanks

My make.conf does not contain this line and ALSA works. The only alsa
line I have, is ALSA_CARDS="ens1371 virmidi".

What version of sys-apps/portage do you have? I'm using portage-2.1.3.19
and I get different output:

[ebuild R ] media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.14a-r1 USE="midi -alisp -debug
-doc" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw copy dshare dsnoop extplug file hooks
ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null rate route share shm" 0 kB

Mayby your prtage is to old? Just a guess. Does the output of "emerge
--info --verbose | grep USE_EXPAND" show ALSA_CARDS and
ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS? And "emerge --info | grep ALSA" should show them too,
in the line with the use flags.

I do not have that line. Regarding the alsa howto its related to the
alsa-driver package.

I compiled alsa directly into the kernel and did compile everything
directly and not as modul.e

I have the same portage version.

No, I get:

USE_EXPAND="CROSSCOMPILE_OPTS DVB_CARDS ELIBC FCDSL_CARDS
FOO2ZJS_DEVICES FRITZCAPI_CARDS INPUT_DEVICES KERNEL LINGUAS
LIRC_DEVICES MISDN_CARDS USERLAND VIDEO_CARDS"

I do not get any output for that command.


So it seems its portage, so here is my "emerge --info", maybe this helps:

Maybe some leftover on my system. I'm using the kernel driver too, but
as modules.

Well, was worth a try.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This looks suspicious. If I change /etc/make.profile to the 2006.1
profile (I'm using 2007.0/desktop), the output of emerge --info starts with:
Portage 2.1.3.19 (default-linux/x86/2006.1, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0,

but still contains ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS and ALSA_CARDS.

Together with
[...]
> DISTDIR="/mnt/portage/distfiles"
[...]
> PKGDIR="/mnt/portage/packages"
[...]
> PORTDIR="/mnt/portage"

and the fact, that your USE_EXPAND does not contain the alsa vars makes
me think your /etc/make.profile points to the wrong target. If I'm not
mistaken, on your system either /usr/portage should be a link to
/mnt/portage or /etc/make.profile should be a link to
'/mnt/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.1'.

This is my /etc/make.profile:
0:jupiter etc # ls -l /etc/make.profile
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 56 2007-11-19 12:30 /etc/make.profile ->
.../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2007.0/desktop

I have PORTDIR="/usr/portage".

So, you could try somethink like this:
# save the old link
mv /etc/make.profile /etc/make.profile-save
# and create the (hopefully) correct one
ln -s /mnt/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.1 /etc/make.profile

Then check emerge --info for the ALSA vars.

If this works, you might want to rename /usr/portage to e.g.
/usr/portage-old and either see what breaks, because it uses
/usr/portage instead of $PORTDIR or create a link:
ln -s /mnt/portage /usr/portage
