OK, now that I've already made a total fool to thousands of users, let
me milk the moment:
I'm Justin Kolodiej, and I just moved from Linux to FreeBSD a few days
ago. I started out with the "release" release, but since the Linux
emulation wasn't good enough, I moved to the "current" version.
The latest snapshot has been out for a half a day now, so I'm sure the
following bug has been already reported hundreds of times, ;-) but here
it is:
Compiling the "original" sound drivers into a custom kernel causes some
strange errors. gcc chokes on the following code, taken from
sound_calls.h, with a "parse error before snd_rw_buf":
int sound_read_sw (int dev, struct fileinfo *file, snd_rw_buf * buf, int
count);
int sound_write_sw (int dev, struct fileinfo *file, snd_rw_buf * buf,
int count);
I believe that is the original version, but I can't guarantee it; I
changed the spacing trying to get it to work, but no such luck.
In fact, wherever snd_rw_buf appears, there's a "Parse error." The
following code, taken from os.h, I assume, is supposed to define
snd_rw_buf as a structure, but it doesn't seem to work:
typedef struct uio snd_rw_buf;
Let me get to the point. If you MUST have sound, use pcm instead. At
least that compiles. ;-)
Don't flame me TOO hard,
Justin K.
