alsa-devel package

English Open Build Service (OBS)

Hello,

I’m new to the build service and try to build my first package, see NtEd. My problem is in the ./configure step. I get the error message

checking for ALSA... configure: error: Make sure the libasound (ALSA) devel package is installed

On my local machine I solved this point with installing the package alsa-devel so I thought I have use this package in the specfile, too. I added

BuildRequires: gcc-c++, alsa-devel

but I get the same error.

So, what package do I have to write in the spec file? Is there a general way to find out how packages are named in the build service?

Thanks a lot for your answers and patience with a package novice :slight_smile:

greetings, Carsten

Hello,

I found the error. I missed the line in front of the ALSA line:

checking for pkg-config... no
checking for ALSA... configure: error: Make sure the libasound (ALSA) devel package is installed

So, I addedto the spec file

BuildRequires: gcc-c++ **pkg-config** alsa-devel

and the error is gone :slight_smile:

checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for ALSA... yes

Greetings, Carsten
