the problems are the drivers, when I choose only --with-driver="alsa_usb" \ it works fine, but whenever I add another driver (for example --with-driver="alsa_usb,sir" \) the configure step fails:

ok I made some progress... its possible to to compile only ONE driver for each compile process... and not every driver works:

#ok:
#userspace,accent,act200l,act220l,adaptec,alsa_usb,animax,asusdh,atilibusb,atiusb,audio_alsa
#breakoutbox,bte,bw6130,cmdir,creative,creative_infracd,devinput,digimatrix,dsp,dvico,ea65,exaudio

#unknown: audio (no portaudio), caraca (no caraca package), iguanaIR (missing headers), irman (no libirman)

can someone of the developpers help me, I want to choose the driver in the "make menuconfig" menu and insert the selected driver into the compile string:

CONFIGURE_ARGS += \
        --disable-nls \
        --disable-static \
        --with-kerneldir="$(LINUX_DIR)" \
        --with-driver="$(SELECTED_MODULE_HERE)" \
        --without-x \
        --with-pic \
        --with-gnu-ld \
        --enable-sandboxed \

ok the serial driver is working aswell, as this is a kernel module, it depends on the selected kernel modules...

common, just a hint how to solve this.. would be great
