It isn't bikeshedding. Recall that I built these sources a few weeks ago when you mentioned the speakup issue in private correspondence. At the time, I built speakup in 2.6.32-23 to see if it would behave differently than the 2.6.3[45] sources that were giving you grief. It built for me at the time, so I was suprised to find out it didn't build for you, and naturally I wanted to know what I did wrong. It may be that speakup works on amiga and atari (I don't know). It doesn't work on mac as there are no audio drivers. It has long frustrated me that there is bloat in the debian kernel configs. So perhaps I am guilty of being unfairly obstructionist here, in the hope that the config file issues could be addressed. My apologies.
Some macros are not available on m68k if CONFIG_ISA is not set, but they are available âalmostâ or even really everywhere else, so drivers use them, so m68k is buggy in not providing them. (Outsiderâs PoV.)
You may be right. I confess to being ignorant when it comes to ISA. Finn
