[SOLVED]oss_envy24: Unknown symbol oss_timing_printf (err 0)

[dflt]

Hello,
I've got this error in dmesg:

oss_envy24: Unknown symbol oss_timing_printf (err 0)

As you may suspect module isn't loading.

What to do with it?

I'm using arch.

ossinfo:

Code: Select all

Version info: OSS 4.2 (b 2006/201206181011) (0x00040100) OSS_HG

I've tried striping out oss_timing_printf in source code but:

Code: Select all

grep oss_timing_printf /usr/lib/oss/* -R

doesnt show anything.

Alsa sucks, please help.

Ok, I've managed to "fix" it (more like dirty hack it).

For other people with the same problem I've prepared minihowto:
1. download tar ball with of oss-hg from http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24719

# wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/os/os ... -hg.tar.gz

2. unpack etc.
# tar zxvf oss*gz
# cd oss-hg

4. makepkg so we have sources without a hassel:
# makepkg --asroot

4. coping orginal file
# cd oss
# cp kernel/drv/oss_envy24/oss_envy24.c oss_envy24.c.new

5. commenting lines in oss_envy24.c.new:

Code: Select all

258 //#ifdef DO_TIMINGS
259 //      oss_timing_printf ("Envy24: Copy out %d, %d",
260 //                 dmap_get_qhead (dmap) * dmap->fragment_size, nbytes);
261 //#endif

(yeah I know I could comment only two lines of oss_timing... but I dont trust the empty #ifndef)

6. generating patch
# diff -u kernel/drv/oss_envy24/oss_envy24.c oss_envy24.c.new > ../oss_envy24.c.patch

7. editing PKGBUILD to use our patch
# vim ../PKGBUILD

8. adding line for example between

export NO_WARNING_CHECKS=yes

and

msg "Building libflashsupport.so."

so the result is for example:

Code: Select all

44   export NO_WARNING_CHECKS=yes
45
46   msg "Patching envy24..."
47   echo $(pwd)
48   echo ${startdir}
49   patch -p0 < $startdir/oss_envy24.c.patch
50
51   # Compile libflashsupport.so only in packaging time, so we avoid
52   # conflicts with other packages and ease package management.
53   msg "Building libflashsupport.so."

9. building & Installing
# cd ..
# makepkg --asroot
# pacman -U *xz

It is possible that I've made somewhere error so please inform me. What else... I know it's not most elegant way to do it etc. but it works and I dont have time to improved it.
