[AD] 4.2.0 Beta 3 woes

[Shawn Walker <binarycrusader@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am attempting to compile the Allegro 4.2.0 beta 3 snapshot from alleg.sf.net

Some things you should know first:

Solaris 10 x86
gcc/g++ 3.4.3
gas 2.15
Open Sound Driver from www.opensound.com

First, a configuration problem. I noticed that OSS sound support isn't
automatically detected on Solaris 10, even though I have the latest OSS
package installed from www.opensound.com, what does Allegro need for
OSS support?

Second, I've run into several compilation errors along the way. By
default, ./configure detects MMX and SSE support, but then fails during
compilation with:

./src/misc/icolconv.s: Assembler messages:
./src/misc/icolconv.s:138: Error: unbalanced parenthesis in operand 1.
./src/misc/icolconv.s:249: Error: unbalanced parenthesis in operand 1.
./src/misc/icolconv.s:275: Error: unbalanced parenthesis in operand 1.
./src/misc/icolconv.s:386: Error: unbalanced parenthesis in operand 1.
....and so on....

I saw a previous email on the list about this from last year, that
suggested the gas version was too old, but obviously my version isn't
that old.

If disable asm support with ./configure --enable-asm=no, then I get these errors:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -Iinclude -Iinclude/allegro -I./include
-I./include/allegro -I/usr/openwin/include  -DALLEGRO_USE_C
-DALLEGRO_LIB_BUILD  -mtune=pentium -O2 -funroll-loops -ffast-math
-fomit-frame-pointer -Wall -Wno-unused  -c ./src/i386/icsprite.c
-o obj/unix/alleg/icsprite.o
./src/i386/icsprite.c: In function `get_compiled_sprite':
./src/i386/icsprite.c:296: error: structure has no member named `planar'
./src/i386/icsprite.c:302: error: structure has no member named `proc'
./src/i386/icsprite.c:303: error: structure has no member named `proc'

./src/i386/icsprite.c:330: error: structure has no member named `proc'
make: *** [obj/unix/alleg/icsprite.o] Error 1

The above appears to be a result of the fact that
include/allegro/compiled.h around line 46 assumes that the
COMPILED_SPRITE and RLE_SPRITE structs are identical in data structure.
They are not.

Any help is appreciated, I am subscribed to this list so it is not necessary to CC me.
