alsa-driver compile error: implicit declaration of function ‘PAGE_ALIGN’

[caho]

I'm not completely shure if this is a bug or a local problem. Hope i provided enough information.

Problem: Alsa-driver will not compile.

lsb_release -d
Description: Ubuntu intrepid (development branch)

 uname -r
2.6.27-4-generic (also on earlier generic versions)

grep "^audio" /etc/group | grep "$USER" | wc -l
1

 lspci | grep -i audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)

Computer: Acer Aspire One

Ubuntu Version: Ubuntu Netbooks Remix

This:
[code]
sudo apt-get install module-assistant
sudo m-a update
sudo m-a prepare
[b]sudo m-a a-i alsa[/b]
sudo alsa force-unload
sudo depmod -ae
sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel
[/code]

And the following produces the same error:

[ovoskeuiks (ovoskeuiks)]

Add the following line to /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver/acore/info.c
#include <linux/mm.h>

[ovoskeuiks (ovoskeuiks)]

Sorry that was a bit brief and probably not helpful to solving the actual problem.
info.c appears to be auto generated by using info.inc and info.patch. I think that the problem is to do with the header rearrangement of GCC4.3 used in ubuntu 8.10 but I could be wrong. Whatever defines the includes for info.c needs to have the line '#include <linux/mm.h>' added to it which fixes the compile problem. However I dont' know if this is the correct answer to the problem or just a dirty hack.

Also because info.c is auto generated you need to have it fail once to create the info.c file so you can add the line to it.

Hope this is more useful to whomever understands the generation of info.c and can solve it properly

Cheers

[Lucius (lucius-ald)]

Hi I have solved this in a way that is dirty hack surely, but works.
Simply go to /usr/src/, open like root the file alsa-driver.tar.bz2 or whetever the file name is called, modify the file ./acore/info.inc adding the line #include <linux/mm.h>.

It is work in my case, but i'm like pretty noob then i don't know if it is a pretty solution.
Tank you.

[DiGitalX (chmod)]

Hi,
here also
#include'ing <linux/mm.h> in acore/info.c
solves the problem :)
thanks
