I am trying to build alsa-utils from source, but am clearly missing something obvious.
1. I executed:
apt-get source alsa-utils
and that seemed to run OK, generating:
drwxr-xr-x 23 n7dr n7dr 4096 May 29 07:41 alsa-utils-1.1.8
-rw-r--r-- 1 n7dr n7dr 27076 Apr 9 2019 alsa-utils_1.1.8-2.debian.tar.xz
-rw-r--r-- 1 n7dr n7dr 2346 Apr 9 2019 alsa-utils_1.1.8-2.dsc
-rw-r--r-- 1 n7dr n7dr 1019988 Feb 11 2019 alsa-utils_1.1.8.orig.tar.bz2
2. In alsa-utils-1.1.8, there is no BUILD file (which is what I'm used to
seeing), but there is an INSTALL file, which says:
for installation you can use these commands:
./configure
make install
so I figured that the normal "./configure; make" would perform the build.
3. There is no ./configure file :-( So there seems to be an inconsistency
between the instructions and what is actually supplied.
Without a ./configure file, I don't know how to proceed :-(
FWIW, all I really want to build is aplay, but all my attempts to do that
manually throw up compilation errors.
