Error in configure script

[seawright]

I assume that --enable-libsalsa=YES is not a valid command line argument when running configure from the Mercurial sources however the resulting error message clearly states that it is.

Code: Select all

$  /usr/src/oss/configure --enable-libsalsa=YES
/usr/src/oss/configure: Unrecognized command line option --enable-libsalsa=YES

Permitted command line arguments are:

   --enable-libsalsa=YES|NO   - Enable/Disable libsalsa.
   --target=uclinux-blackfin   - Configure for uClinux/Blackfin target (EXPERIMENTAL)
   --regparm         - Configure for CONFIG_REGPARM kernels
   --no-regparm         - Configure for kernels without CONFIG_REGPARM option.
NOTE! --regparm/--no-regparm is normally detected
      automatically and these switches should NOT be used.

   --config-vmix=NO|FLOAT|FIXEDPOINT   - Configure vmix to use float/int arithmetic or disable it.
     (Check possible limitations caused by the OS or the CPU/arch).
   --config-midi=NO|YES      - Enable/disable MIDI support.
   --only-drv=[list]      - Only compile the drivers named in the comma delimited list.
   --enable-timings      - Enable internal timings (for the readtimings utility).
   --portable-build               - Produce portable binaries for generic CPU architecture.


Either error message requires changing to:

--enable-libsalsa=NO - Disable libsalsa.

or an option of:

"--enable-libsalsa=YES")

needs to be added to the configure script.

It is a known bug.
Have you tried to google the forum, before asking questions?

oops - it's a bug in the script. Well, the default is still 'yes', so if you want to enable libsalsa, just don't give that argument... viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4401#p17581

What do they mean when they say Linux gives you more freedom?
Freedom to look around to Linux forums for answers to all the problems you'll have.

Hmm. Last reported in Aug 2011 and still not corrected.
Is there a bug tracker?

It is not very probable that OSS4 developers use a kind of ritual technology of "bug-tracking".
If they have a "bug tracker", it might be somehow "restricted" for Ubuntu users.
The reason is obvious: One bug report to rule them all
