Hi Takashi, thanks for your response! I tried a fresh hg checkout and ran the hgcompile script, which has problems finding the alsa-kernel directory as follows: files are in: /alsa_hg2/alsa-driver /alsa_hg2/alsa-kernel i set the ALSAKERNELDIR to ALSAKERNELDIR=/usr/local/src/alsa_hg2/alsa-kernel and run ./hgcompile getting: No alsa-kernel is found. Please specify the correct location via ALSAKERNELDIR environment variable. manually running the steps explained in the INSTALL file gets the same problem as there is at make ALSAKERNELDIR=/usr/local/src/alsa_hg2/alsa-kernel all-deps: find: /usr/local/src/alsa_hg2/alsa-driver/alsa-kernel/: No such file or directory so there seems to be an offset in the directory structure which i did wrong, as the ALSAKERNELDIR is not the path of the 'alsa-kernel' directory. but the directory that very 'alsa-kernel' directory lives in. So a very simple misunderstanding at my side of the keyboard. Did succeed using the ftp snapshots though, so my system is happily playing audio now. Conclusion: some misunderstanding the exact location the ALSAKERNELDIR variable should point at Thanks again for the help!
