[Alsa-user] ALSA lib audio/pcm_bluetooth.c:1607:(audioservice_expect)

2011-06-20 Thread YuGiOhJCJ Mailing-List
Hello, I use a bluetooth headset. With some SDL applications[1][2][3][4] I got this error : ALSA lib audio/pcm_bluetooth.c:1607:(audioservice_expect) BT_OPEN failed : Invalid argument(22) and audio doesn't work. Whereas with other applications[5][6] I got no error message and the audio works.

This is part of the reason that I use --prefix=/usr because the /usr/includes/ are also affected by the --prefix option (i.e. /usr/local/includes / which is empty). And I've never really gotten into the changing $PATH part of things. But there's a whole slew of -I and -L options (with a different

I think your statement here " i.e. how exactly would you create your tarball? From a diff of an entire backup before and after make install? " best sums it up. Without a staging directory to "install" to, you would have to parse the entire FS in order to find what the "make install" step did.

I run opensuse. I'm not going to pretend to be an expert at pci slots, but the cards never swapped around for me. What you probably should do is find a forum related to Digidesign (protools?). The boxes were used in multitrack audio recording prior to the availability of multitrack sound cards

Ummm. I'm not sure if I follow you. $ make will build the objects and stuff in the current path of your source tree. $ make install copies the executables to the system usable locations. /usr/bin/ /lib/modules/. /usr/share/doc/. (which is why you need to be root in a lot of cases to run

Currently there is no alsa installed in the custom distro, so there won't be any overwritting. :) I just don't want to install the version of alsa I'm compiling into my running version of Kubuntu because I'd rather use software from it's package repositories to avoid the headaches mentioned by eve

If you're really into going it on your own. There's gentoo, and there's LFS aka linux from scratch. Both of which impose a lot of source compilation. The inherent problem with sources is that you run into maintenance issues. i.e. If you use the same install for a long enough time, it'll eventua

Well many source packages default to /usr/local/ Many distros default to /usr/ And the distros IGNORE /usr/local/ unless otherwise told. It's not a compile thing, it's a runtime thing. Of course you could always run things with the full paths /usr/local/bin/alsamixer and such. But if you add t

Thanks again for the continued help James. I knew '--prefix' was a 'configure' option, but thought one would use it when permanently installing the software to a non-standard directory on the system. Since this software is being compiled on a temp system and "installing" to a staging director

... or Sorcerer. James, you need to use the new system for compiling, not some other one. And how do you install applications on your "custom" system? By .deb packages?!?! Come on, this is not a custom system! This is exactly what Pierre said: reinventing the wheel. Like Ubuntu for Debian - who
