[[PageOutline]] = Uniaud for OS/2 & eCS = This is the development home for uniaud, the Universal Audio Driver for eCS and OS/2. Share your success with Uniaud on our new SupportedHardware matrix. Download: The current stable binary release is [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/uniaud/Uniaud191-1922.zip 1.9.22]. The debug version of this release is [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/uniaud/UniaudDebug191-1922.zip here]. = Getting the sources = In addition to [/browser browsing] the sources here, you can check out the [http://svn.netlabs.org/repos/uniaud sources] with your favorite subversion client. Keep in mind that, unlike [http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/ cvs], tags and branches are ordinary directories in subversion. With the typical subversion repository layout, it is rather easy to checkout more than you probably intend to. To pull just the trunk version, use something like {{{ mkdir uniaud32_workspace cd uniaud32_workspace svn checkout http://svn.netlabs.org/repos/uniaud/GPL/trunk trunk }}} and {{{ mkdir uniaud16_workspace cd uniaud16_workspace svn checkout http://svn.netlabs.org/repos/uniaud/OCO/trunk trunk }}} To update your workspace with the current repository content, use {{{ cd uniaud32_workspace\trunk svn update }}} If you want commit access to the repository, contact Paul. = Building the drivers = Once you have the sources, [wiki:Building building] the uniaud drivers is relatively straight-forward. You will need the following development tools: - [http://www.openwatcom.org OpenWatcom] 1.7a or later. - ilink 5.0 from IBM, or, if using wlink, you need lxlite to bring it down to size. - The DDK. - For ACPI builds, the [http://en.ecomstation.ru/projects/developer/?action=acpi ACPI toolkit]. = Distributing builds = == Uniaud16 == Public builds of uniaud16.sys are included with all uniaud packages. There is not usually be a reason to publicly release Uniaud16 by itself. See [ReleaseProcedures Release Package Procedures] for how we go about this. When distributing builds of Uniaud16 privately to a few people to test, a good practice, to avoid confusion with the public releases, is to change the "fixpak level" to the svn revision number, e.g. "!r380". If it does not match any revision number, perhaps because you are testing before committing, you may want to distinguish it with a word like "TESTCASE" or "CUSTOM". None of these labels for private builds should be committed to the svn repo. It is also helpful to set the HOSTNAME environment variable to a unique word that can trace the build back to you if your build system's hostname doesn't already. == Uniaud32 == Trunk releases of Uniaud32 accompany Uniaud16 of the same version, so public releases follow the same [ReleaseProcedures Release Procedures]. The same practices for private builds apply as well, except that Uniaud32 is GPL, so for license compliance any test builds that are distributed privately should not only specify the svn revision number, but also include a patch against that revision if anything differs. This is easily acquired with: {{{ svn diff > my_uni32_from_r380.patch }}} The experimental branches each follow very different conventions. See the explanation of the [VersioningInfo Branches and Versioning Info of Uniaud32] for details about working with them. = Debugging and such = Since the drivers are under development, issues are expected. See [DebuggingAndSuch debugging hints] for a guide to techniques and tools that can make solving them easier (we hope). = Alsa Resync = Uniaud derives some of its functionality from the [http://www.alsa.com Alsa] project. This mean we periodically [AlsaResync resync] our sources with the latest ALSA sources. This provide both aditional device support as well as defect fixes. = Submitting Tickets = You must be logged into TRAC to create tickets.
