Subject: [ecasound] ecasound-2.1dev2 quirks

Hi --
1) When compiling ecasound-2.1dev2, compilation failed when trying to
#include alsa/asoundlib.h
On my machine, asoundlib.h is sys/asoundlib.h -- presumably this depends on
what version of the alsa stuff one is using.
Workaround: mkdir alsa ; cd alsa ; ln -s ../sys/asoundlib.h .
Suggestion: Perhaps the ./configure script could check for this quirk and
deal with it?????
2) I managed to do a successful make. I did _not_ do a "make install";
instead I tried running /usr/src/ecasound-2.1dev2/ecasound/ecasound
directly. It almost worked. However, I got the following load-time error:
lt-ecasound: error while loading shared libraries:
/usr/src/ecasound-2.1dev2/libecasound/.libs/libecasound.so.8: undefined
symbol: __14ATOMIC_INTEGERi
Wow, what an uniformative error message. A colleague of mine tracked this
down. Here is his report:
>The ATOMIC_INTEGER class is defined in the kvutils library,
>and is referenced by the libecasound library.
>ecasound is a shell script that creates .libs/lt-ecasound

Suggestion: It is really nice to be able to run ecasound versions without
doing a "make install". (We are talking about a pre-alpha developmental
version, and I don't want to overwrite the released version that is
installed on my machine.) The software is obviously trying fairly hard
already to support this capability; it would be wonderful to make it go
the small remaining distance to the goal.
