 Posted: Sat Jan 14, 2012 4:16 pm Post subject: [solved] Seamonkey with oss support instead of alsa. |
 |
|
Hi again,
To my desktop machine there's a cheap analog sound speaker system connected. And OSS4 gives me there a much better sound quality than alsa. Unfortunately there are projects or organizations that don't like OSS very much. One of them is the mozilla foundation (Firefox, Seamonkey, Xulrunner). Of course they support OSS on BSD, but they deny it on Linux. To replace alsa with OSS support it's only necessary to change two little characters in the source code and the alsa check in the configure scripts.
The whole patch:

That worked perfect in Seamonkey until version 2.5.0. In Firefox and Xulrunner it's still working (two parts less to patch). But in Seamonkey I get in the configure stage:

Any ideas in which configure script I can deactivate that boring "STOP! configure.in has changed, and your configure is out of date." check? It seems the guys from mozilla build in every new version an additional check in, that makes it harder to replace alsa by oss.

Is that really your whole build log?
The weird thing about it is that there are no messages from eautoreconf, even though I see it being called from prepare stage in seamonkey-2.6.1.ebuild. I would have expected to see messages like "* Running autoconf" after the patches were applied but before the configure stage.
Also note that your configure script really is outdated if eautoreconf is indeed not running, so the build would have a right to complain. |

I copied only the first and the last part of the configure phase. See the "..." below "Applying various patches"

It's the current seamonkey ebuild. I just included my patch into the original ebuild. Portage is up to date.

| The full log does show autoconf being run. Check the timestamps for configure.in and configure in that build directory -- did autoconf fail to update configure for some reason? If so, try running autoconf manually and see whether that updates configure script. |

Sorry for another question, but I don't have any experience with the autotools. Where do I have to execute which command?
I tried in /var/tmp/portage/www-client/seamonkey-2.6.1/work/comm-release autoconf and got:
| Code: | mozilla/build/autoconf/acwinpaths.m4:44: error: defn: undefined macro: AC_OUTPUT_FILES

You can run it from the same dir as the configure.in, but it looks like you need to run a different version of autoconf. According to seamonkey ebuild they are using a very old version of autoconf: WANT_AUTOCONF="2.1"
Try running autoconf-2.13 instead |

Ok, I'm a step in another direction. Don't know if it's a progress.
I removed the part in the patch where I modified: comm-release/mozilla/configure. Now I get in the configure stage:

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `alsa.pc'

I greped for alsa in any configure-scripts, but I don't find the point to remove the alsa check and keep the sound support at the same time.  |

Hm I thought you were modifying configure.in not configure directly?

If you have alsa-lib installed, alsa.pc should exist in /usr/lib/pkgconfig -- does it? |

No and no.
The whole point of this is NOT to have any alsa libs installed on my box. As I wrote above, to get the mozilla projects (Xulrunner, Firefox, Seamonkey) with oss working, it's just necessary to replace sydney_audio_alsa.c with sydney_audio_oss.c in libsydneyaudio/src/Makefile.in. It works in Xulrunner and Firefox and worked in Seamonkey < 2.5. From version >=2.5 they included an additional alsa check. And that's the goal of this thread - remove all the alsa checks. |

For some reason, I can compile Seamonkey-2.7.1 with oss sound support again. I just tried to play a youtube video in webm format and it works like a charm with sound. There are no alsa libs on my machine. If someone is interested. The Ebuild:
| /usr/portage/www-client/seamonkey/seamonkey-2.7.1.ebuild: | ...
src_prepare() {
