I have a bit of a fear of makefiles, how difficult would it be to get Beta 10 to compile with PD? (just changing a few #include references?)
Think i've already answered that one, you don't need to change a lot of PD code :
a/ install alsa-driver and alsa-lib
b/ change #include <sys/asoundlib.h> with #include <alsa/asoundlib.h> in src/s_linux.c.
Still, you'll get those warnings :
s_linux.o: In function `alsa_open_audio': /usr/local/pd/src-patch-sounfile/s_linux.c:2032: Warning: start_mode is deprecated, consider to use start_threshold /usr/local/pd/src-patch-sounfile/s_linux.c:2035: Warning: xrun_mode is deprecated, consider to use stop_threshold
Don't panic, it will work despite those warnings ( at least with 2.4.9 kernel ).
Sorry if new errors appear with kernel 2.4.16.... Good luck§
