hi again,
 
sorry, i was wrong, PD CAN compile
with a native ALSA support provided you
do the following :
 
a/ install and compile
alsa-driver and alsa-lib.
( my first error report came
from the fact alsa-lib was
not installed, yes, i'm a beginner
with ALSA ).
 
b/ next, you should change
the following line in s_linux.c :
#include <sys/asound.lib>
with
#include <alsa/asoundlib.h>
 
Then it works.
 
Good luck.
 
Yves/

hi,
 
someone replied to this message by saying
that there ain't any compiling problem with ALSA
so i've checked twice :
pd 0-34-3 or pd 0-35-test3 will not compile with ALSA
v0.9.0 beta9 nor v0.9.0 beta10, sorry.
It cannot compile since there ain't any
asoundlib.h in ALSA releases anymore.
 
I think the misunderstanding spread from the fact
that if you don't issue a
"./configure --enable-alsa" command,
the configure script will not try to detect ALSA
and what you really do is compiling PD
with OSS emulation mode,
which works with any version.
 
So, I think most people use OSS emulation mode
without knowing it.
 
btw, i don't think this mode
introduces a lot of latencies
( i don't have too many on a Celeron 800 ).
 
cheers,
 
Yves\\\
