So I'm trying to update my sound card driver but I need to compile first.



After entering the sudo make command, I run into errors, missing files, etc.



See link.
Terminal_Lines



I've installed the build-essentials with the following command:



sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential



Apparently I'm missing something but don't know what. Suggestions?

A few things to note:




  1. It seems you are tryimg to install a driver last updated in 2008, which would be written for Linux kernel version 2.6 on a Linux 3.0 system. This will very likely not work.

  2. Practically all source tarballs you download have a configure script you should run befire running make, was there one and did you?

  3. Some googling tells me that the card is supported in ALSA, so compiling and installing manually should not be needed.

  4. If you have working, but bad sound, some people seem to be happier after switching to OSS4 and doing away with PulseAudio.
