Hi Lucas,
During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build on i386.
oper_awe.c: In function 'seq_open':
oper_awe.c:146: error: 'SAMPLE_TYPE_AWE32' undeclared (first use in this
function)
In the Makefile from the original source package, it says:
# device selections -- multiple avaialble
# to disable the device, set value 0 (do not comment out!)
#
USE_AWE = 1
I believe this relates to proprietary sequencer support for the
seriously obsolete Sound Blaster AWE32 ISA sound card, dating from 1994:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_Blaster_AWE32
According to the oldest entry on this changelog:
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/v/vkeybd/vkeybd_0.1.17a-2/changelog
vkeybd was split from the awe package, which was removed from sid in
2002, along with the OSS kernel drivers.
Although the AWE32 is supported by ALSA now, I think it's quite safe to
change the Makefile to read USE_AWE=0 and update the description of the
package to remove the reference to AWE32 support.
The alternative would be to make the linux-source-2.6.* package a build
dependency of this vkeybd package; I don't know if that's acceptable in
Debian policy terms. It would keep the retro sound hardware enthusiasts
happy :-)
Cheers!
Daniel
