[pulseaudio-discuss] pulseaudio compile fails on slackware

[Borries Demeler]

Thanks for your response, Tanu!
I wiped the install and started with a fresh 14.1i 32-bit. It turns out the
32-bit slackware-current distro I had downloaded was missing these headers,
but this omission is corrected in a stock 14.1 version. On that,
pulseaudio compiled without a problem.

Thanks! -Borries
