[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#622652: alsa-driver: fails to build on powermac

[Anton Ivanov]

Package: alsa-driver
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)


I am still getting from time to time (not always) sound glitches similar
to the ones reported in: Bug#610859 so I decided to try building more 
recent alsa from source. However it does not build.

In file included from /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver/ppc/pmac.c:13:
