[linrad] Re: Mandriva 2006.1-0.3 Free

Hi All,

The "standard install" of svgalib-1.9.24 fails because this distribution
does not supply kernel headers by default (just by selecting development).


The kernel headers have been missing for a long time now, I think since 10.1
The option "NO_HELPER = y" (in Makefile.cfg) does not work with svgalib-1.9.24, but 1.9.21 installs fine with "NO_HELPER = y" 

Rpmdrake allows installation of kernel headers (of course) and
when they are in place svgalib-1.9.24 compiles fine.

In Linrad-01.35 you have to edit the file "svga" to bring it in
agreement with your svgalib version. Then type "make svgalib"
in the Linrad directory. (Linrad-02.xx is more automated)


Might be worth trying -02.xx and seen what happens


There are two options: 1.9.21 without svgalib_helper
or 1.9.24 with svgalib_helper. Both work fine on my
computers, but they are much older than 6 months;-)

Linrad works fine with ALSA which comes with Mandriva Free.
The soundcard I want for input is a Lynx Two and I tried to
install OSS to support it. The bad news is that OSS does not
work at all. (oss3994a)

Presumably Opensound (or Mandriva) will fix this, I guess something
is wrong with the kernel headers..

When Itried the latest OSS drivers , I had to do a complete install afterwards
as you could not use the ALSA drivers. I left the machine audio free .


Generally it is a bad idea to use the very latest distribution
because it takes some time for the hardware related groups to
adapt to changes made in the kernel. As long as you are happy with ALSA, Mandriva 2006.1-0.3 if fine for svgalib and Linrad. 

I think this is the stage we can never agree on Leif, the current kernel version
is 2.6.15-6, that the vanilla kernel.
Mandrivas kernel 2.6.12-17mdk.
So for once they are not at the bleeding edge.

The real problem is svgalib, from his site nothing has moved to the stable stage since
2001, and now is patch after patch.

I'll try building from the src.rpm

sorry long bit of data:-
