[2024-feb-29] Sad news: Eric Layton aka Nocturnal Slacker aka vtel57 passed away on Feb 26th, shortly after hospitalization. He was one of our Wiki's most prominent admins. He will be missed.

Welcome to the Slackware Documentation Project

* discussion and notes *

I think that this part of the guide that reads:

“vi Makefile #get rid of any ”-m32“ flags if you are on a 64-bit machine”

should clarify that the -m32 flag could or should be changed to -m64 if you making libpulse.so.0 on a 64bit machine.

- The Bluez 5.40 package says that it is not dependent on pulseaudio, and the Bluez website also does not indicate that pulseaudio is necessary. Perhaps a revision of the Rationale section should be contemplated. -

Please add your name and a timestamp when you write something here! It is impolite to just write random bullshit. There's a “insert signature” button above the editor which accomplishes just that.
And FYI, this is the git commit which removed ALSA support from BlueZ: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/bluetooth/bluez.git/commit/?id=4ff9b99292eca193dc0c149722328cb0b1ab0818

Rebuilding packages with pa disabled

Should alsa-plugins be rebuilt instead of removed? (with –disable-pulseaudio flag)

Also I was able to rebuild kmix without PA. Then it does not need runtime configuration. — Anonymous
