My first contribution was so simple, I didn't need to test it. This change will need testing, so I believe I'll need to build from source. (If that's not the case, I'm all ears!)
My OS details:
Code: Select all
System: Kernel: 5.15.0-56-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: N/A Desktop: MATE 1.26.0 wm: Compiz
dm: LightDM Distro: Linux Mint 20.3 Una base: Ubuntu 20.04 focal
I've made it to the point where the build is looking for the alsa package. I've worked through half a dozen of these so far, but I'm not sure what to do here. Any advice?
Build error:
Code: Select all
0:04.27 DEBUG: configure:11591: checking for alsa
0:04.27 DEBUG: configure: error: You need ALSA for audio output on Linux.
0:04.27 ERROR: old-configure failed
However, I have alsa-base instead and I'm not entirely sure how to proceed:
Code: Select all
$ sudo apt-get install alsa
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'alsa-base' instead of 'alsa'
alsa-base is already the newest version (1.0.25+dfsg-0ubuntu5).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Maybe a symlink is in order? Or I need a dev package that I'm not finding?
Edit: Looking at the Pale Moon source, I found mention of alsa-base and alsa-utils in the Ubuntu test docker recipes so I tied installing alsa-utils but already had it as well:
Code: Select all
$ sudo apt-get install alsa-utils
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
alsa-utils is already the newest version (1.2.2-1ubuntu2.1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
However, that has not solved the problem. I'm still getting the same build error shown above.
Similarly I've finding gstreamer0.10-alsa mentioned as well. This package is proving difficult to install. If I need it, I'm not sure how to get it right now.
(However I do have gstreamer1.0-alsa installed, but I'm not sure that's any help.)
Code: Select all
$ sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-alsa
