The snd-firewire-ctl-services has dependencies to: - alsa-gobject - libhinawa They are software I write, and have similar design. Both depends on GLib/GObject with GObject Introspection. GLib is a fundamental library for many applications, especially appliations of GNOME desktop environment, therefore I guess that you can easily find the way to resolve the dependency to build GLib/GObject applications in Linux distributions which has desktop environment. GObject Introspection is used to produce FFI functionality for language bindings. You can easily find the way to resolve the dependency as well. Recent release of Gtk supports GObject Introspection. As a tips, below files should be installed under the directory in which libgirepository searches typelib. * ALSACtl-0.0.gir * ALSAHwdep-0.0.gir * ALSARawmidi-0.0.gir * ALSASeq-0.0.gir * ALSATimer-0.0.gir * Hinawa-3.0.gir Additionally, alsa-gobject uses libudev to query kobject information in sysfs filesystem. You can find many applications use libudev and easily find the way to resolve dependency. > Can I continue to ask for help in this thread? > Or should I make a new thread or move to another mailing list below? I don't mind which list you ask. I subscribe them. But in LAD, Len Ovens reports his experience to test snd-fireworks-ctl-service and filed some issues. You might get any help from him. Of cource, I can assist your test. > > [2] http://linux-audio.4202.n7.nabble.com/RFT-ALSA-control-service-programs-for-Fireworks-board-module-td110065.html > > [3] https://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2020-July/171070.html > > [1] https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-gobject/ Thanks Takashi Sakamoto _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
