getting errors when trying to sudo make install

Use abs to build, don't do the traditional build...

QFT.

ABS is a powerful and versatile toolkit which allows creation of .tar.gz packages which are installable (and trackable) by pacman.
Doing the traditional make, make install (on any distro) creates cruft files throughout your system whichyour package manager (pacman) will be unaware of, creating potential future issues.

Shadowmeph · 2008-05-24 19:29:48

it keeps telling me ( after I did the tar command and entered the dir) that I am missing files
"==> Starting ABS sync...

Download the tarball, it includes the install script as well as the PKGBUILD.

Shadowmeph · 2008-05-24 19:44:30

this is what I down loaded

Sources
http://www.4front-tech.com/developer/so … pl.tar.bz2
and extracted which is the only one that I found

No, you are misunderstanding.
Just follow the wiki entry instructions. Download the tarball from the aur; it has everything you need inside.

Shadowmeph · 2008-05-24 20:12:59

ok well I went to aur and searched for oss and it came up with this
unsupported modules oss-linux 4.0_1008-1    24 OSS/Commercial driver aquila_deus
unsupported modules oss-linux-free 4.0_1015-2    47 OSS/Open source driver CuleX
unsupported modules oss-testing 4.1_080509-1    2 Open Sound System UNIX audio architecture (testing version)
now if I click on the 1015-2 it takes me to where I already downloaded the file
so then I download the oss-testing and extract it do the makepkg -i
gives me exactly the same errors

Shadowmeph: reading the following might help you understand what Mistfit and Dheart are suggesting:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_User_Guidelines
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ABS

Misfit138 · 2008-05-24 20:21:43

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/oss-l … ree.tar.gz

That is the link to the tarball I am telling you about. You cannot get an error about a missing oss.install file if you use that tarball..

Did you install with pacman -U oss.pkg.tar.gz ?

Shadowmeph · 2008-05-24 21:01:11

no I followed the instructions here http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OSS

Misfit138 · 2008-05-24 21:25:16

Yes I see. I forgot it said use makepkg -i
BTW. The tarball is at the bottom of the AUR page.

Shadowmeph · 2008-05-24 21:39:39

oh I have it installed and did the osstest but I have no sound at all I had the same problems with Ubuntu hardy but I am very sure that the fix is going to be different on this OS which for ubuntu is to install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad

Yes. Just, for next time you use the AUR. The PKGBUILD and tarball are at the bottom of the page on the left.

huh? ok then I must be looking at the wrong pages http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php because at the bottom of the page to the left doesn't make sense to me lol

Misfit138 · 2008-05-25 03:08:47

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … 1&ID=14421

On that page, look at the bottom left where it says "Tarball, Files, PKGBUILD"
Click on Tarball.
That's how you use the AUR manually. Look into Yaourt for a completely automatic method.
Enjoy

Lol thats to funny for some reason I just took a quick glance and seen it as a dir not as seperate downloads so I was clicking on the pkbuild and downloading that doh\

on a different not I went to http://www.4front-tech.com and posted in there about my sound problems and "cesium" told me that I should use :
http://www.fileupyours.com/view/77985/pkgb.tar.bz2 which I did I have to say that he helped me out ..allot he helped me ( ok instructed me ) how to rebuild the package and install it

run makepkg as normal user
install the result (as root) via pacman...

which was a huge adventure for a Noob like me after I installed the package I built from what he gave me I didn't have any sound it took me a nights sleep and a ( twentieth) reread of the post that I made on the 4front tec forums about the same problems on my Ubuntu hardy OS then I found what I had to do, which was

 find /lib/modules -name osscore.ko | sudo xargs rm
soundoff
soundon

now Ihave sound again so with the combination of you peeple and cesium I have sound once again thanks for all of your help
