Hello ALSA-devel team, nice to contact you. Firstly I want to let you know I'm a fan of the work of you guys of the ALSA Project, specifically of the alsa-lib of which I had a little experience. I'm needing help with the compile of the alsa-lib library, I'm using cygwin and following the instructions in the "INSTALL" file inside the source but during the compiling with the command "./gitcompile" I'm getting some errors, here the entire log: Caio@Caio-PC ~/alsa-lib $ ./gitcompile configure.ac:30: installing './compile' configure.ac:15: installing './config.guess' configure.ac:15: installing './config.sub' configure.ac:16: installing './install-sh' configure.ac:16: installing './missing' alsalisp/Makefile.am: installing './depcomp' parallel-tests: installing './test-driver' CFLAGS=-O2 -Wall -W -Wunused-const-variable=0 -pipe -g ./configure --disable-aload --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib --with-plugindir=/usr/lib/alsa-lib --with-pkgconfdir=/usr/lib/pkgconfig configure: loading site script /usr/share/config.site checking build system type... x86_64-pc-cygwin checking host system type... x86_64-pc-cygwin checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /usr/bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether make supports nested variables... yes checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... yes checking whether make supports nested variables...
