Error compiling alsatplg

[dbaluta]

With latest alsa-lib and alsa-utils sources I cannot compile alsatplg utility.

Steps followed:

Compile alsa-lib

1. ./gitcompile --prefix=$HOME/work/sof_dir/alsa-lib-bins/
2. make install #custom instalation to be later used by alsa-utils.

Compile alsa-utils

1. /gitcompile --with-alsa-inc-prefix=$HOME/work/sof_dir/alsa-lib-bins/include/ --with-alsa-prefix=$HOME/work/sof_dir/alsa-lib-bins/lib
2. I get the following errors:

Similar with #33

[dbaluta]

So it looks -latopology is not added into the final compilation step. The issues is identical with #33 but I still see it in the latest version.

Copy latest alsa.m4 from alsa-lib/utils directory to your global aclocal path (like /usr/share/aclocal).

[dbaluta]

@perexg thanks it works now. Any idea how do I make ./configure to not ask for a confirmation on this

Copying file m4/progtest.m4

Please run 'aclocal -I m4' to regenerate the aclocal.m4 file.
You need aclocal from GNU automake 1.9 (or newer) to do this.
Then run 'autoconf' to regenerate the configure file.

You might also want to copy the convenience header file gettext.h
from the /usr/share/gettext directory into your package.
It is a wrapper around <libintl.h> that implements the configure --disable-nls
option.

Press Return to acknowledge the previous two paragraphs.

It's gettextize issue:

  echo "Press Return to acknowledge the previous $count."
  # Read from /dev/tty, not stdin, so that gettextize cannot be abused by
  # non-interactive tools.
  read dummy < /dev/tty

The setsid works like setsid gettextize -c -f --no-changelog ....
