Using ABS to build Oss4

Ok I'm not 100% sure this is the right forum to post this on, but here we go.

I've been trying to get get my Soundblaster X-FI 5.1 USB to work by following this http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ope … SB1090_USB Yet whenever I get to the makempkg --noextract I always get this error.

make[3]: Entering directory `/home/ithilin/Builds/community-i686.r7011/src/build/kernel/drv/oss_audigyls'

    Aborting...

Not sure what the deal is so hopefully someone who has more experience with this than me could shed some light on the issue.

Re: Using ABS to build Oss4

1. the problem isn't related to the edit you made according to the wiki. The unmodified package does not compile.
2. the compilation error would normally be a warning, but cc runs with -Werror
3. the specific compilation command works if you remove -Werror.
4. -Werror is part of OSFLAGS in the Makefiles
5. OSFLAGS for linux are defined in src/oss-v4.2-build2002-src-gpl/setup/srcconf_linux.inc

I didn't check if compilation of the whole package works if you remove -Werror, let alone if oss runs ok.

Still, this should be enough to get you started. Good luck!
