[PD] 0.37 ALSA [WAS: PD Knoppix]

[guenter geiger]

The confusion arises because of the "--enable-alsa" flag, which is
according to ./configure --help not supported, but, actually disables
alsa. This is a bug in configure.in, where the line:

AC_ARG_ENABLE(alsa,    [  --disable-alsa          disable ALSA],
    alsa=yes)

should be:

AC_ARG_ENABLE(alsa,    [  --disable-alsa          disable ALSA],
    alsa=$enableval)

This way --disable-alsa and --enable-alsa work correctly. Default is still
to enable the ALSA support. If the compiler can't find your ALSA libraries
./configure output will tell you.
