Ubuntu 18.04
I'm very new to sounds programming in Linux and I'm trying to work with ALSA library. I have alsa-library installed on my machine as follows:
/dev/snd$ sudo apt-file list libasound2
libasound2: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libasound.so.2
libasound2: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libasound.so.2.0.0
libasound2: /usr/share/doc/libasound2/NEWS.Debian.gz
libasound2: /usr/share/doc/libasound2/changelog.Debian.gz
libasound2: /usr/share/doc/libasound2/copyright
libasound2: /usr/share/doc/libasound2/examples/asoundrc.txt.gz
But the problem is that my header files are completely different from what is specified in the documentation Files section:

For instance no conf.h header and as a consequence no struct snd_devname_t; definition. ALSA version I got from the alsa-info script is the latest one currently available.
!!ALSA Version

Driver version: k4.15.0-36-generic
Library version: 1.1.3
Utilities version: 1.1.3
Should I install some other package to get the all includes available? I did some file search
$ find / -name alsa 2>/dev/null

/etc/apm/scripts.d/alsa

I saw this informative SO post, which talks of my problem, but none of the answers helped.
Use $ uname -r to check the kernel version
4.18.0-193.el8.x86_64
The complaint is No such file or directory, however there is a build directory and the kernel developer tools do exist.

#Nighthawk663 in his answer stated Notice that the "source" link is also broken because it points to build. My Source link also points to build, but nothing that I did has it going anywhere else. I do not know if that is a valid comment or not.
[root#localhost Driver]# rpm -i /home/mnvme/Downloads/kernel-devel-4.18.0-193.el8.x86_64.rpm

The PLX SDK Linux Support Release Notes page stated some requirements, which I followed:
In order to build the files supplied, the shell environment variable PLX_SDK_DIR must be set. This should be set to the root location of where the PlxSdk folder is created.
# export PLX_SDK_DIR=$HOME/PlxSdk
#
# Or in my case
export PLX_SDK_DIR=/usr/src/PlxSdk
I did update my .bashrc file with that line and the comment.
I wanted to verify that gcc works and that there is no issue with the compiler, so I built the API and one of the samples. Here is the output from building one of the samples.
[root#localhost Samples]# cd ApiTest
[root#localhost ApiTest]# make

As such, the problem is strictly building the driver and in particular there is something with the kernel that makes the build tools not happy.
Attempting to load the driver states that I did not build the driver, as expected. (I am also stating the load command for completeness sake.)
[root#localhost Bin]# ./Plx_load 8000d d
Install: Plx8000_DMA_dbg

NOTE:
The PLX Release Notes states the following, which apply to my problem.
Kernel 2.6
Kernel 2.6 introduced the Linux kernel build system. In order to build PLX drivers, or any other drivers for that matter, the Linux build system requires the following:
·Linux kernel development package, which matches the destination kernel version, must be installed
·In some cases, the current running kernel must be configured and built manually
If the PLX driver fails to build, please verify the requirements mentioned above are met.
I have the Linux kernel development package matching the destination kernel version as discussed previously, and I am not sure about the second point. I will investigate that.
Thoughts?
The specific answer to the problem was to create the symbolic link without the ../../.. like on the samples.
I executed as root the command from the /lib/modules/4.18... directory.
ln -s /usr/src/kernels/4.18.0-193.14.2.el8_2.x86_64/ build
Doing so then yielded a solid blue on black link to which I was able to do a CD into that.
I was then able to get to my next problem, but first problem resolved.
The funny thing is that I tried the above command before. Maybe I had to install something and then do that line. All I know is the culmination of everything above resolved the issue. Thanks to #JohnBollinger for the steer to the right direction.

The solution to the non-retpoline error comes via a search and this post. I have to:
export the PLX_CHIP type of each project and make the project as root.
From a # prompt:
cd /usr/src/PlxSdk
export PLX_CHIP=8000_NT
make
export PLX_CHIP=8000_DMA
make
export PLX_CHIP=6000_NT
make
The 9000 code has a compiler bug.
I saw libpcap here https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/libpcap?files=1
I have compiler for arm linux.
How can I build libpcap to a file so I can statically link to this lib in my project?
I didn't find MakeFile for Arm.
On Ubuntu 16.04 86_64 or later, assuming bison and flex were installed, and gcc-arm-9.2-2019.12-x86_64-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz was downloaded and extracted into the /opt directory, a possible procedure for cross-compiling the latest version from scratch would be:
wget https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/libpcap/archive/libpcap-1.9.1.tar.gz
tar zxf libpcap-1.9.1.tar.gz
cd libpcap-libpcap-1.9.1

Just a remainder: Flex and Bison can be installed using:
sudo apt-get install flex bison
My group developing a program which uses the JasPer library which depends on a JPEG library. My co-worker created a Makefile which listed the -ljpeg before -ljasper in the build rule. This worked fine on my co-worker's computer but would not build on mine:

Both machines are running Ubuntu 12.04. The JasPer and JPEG libraries were built from source, not obtained through apt-get.
After reading another stack exchange post, lib dependencies and their order, I tried updating the makefile to swap the order of -ljpeg to after -ljasper. This worked.
So my question is, was the original order ok on another machine, which is basically equivalent to mine, but it did not work on my machine?

As far as I can see, all of the same files and links exist on the two systems.
You are probably linking against a static library.
With dynamic libraries, the whole library is included in the link, which will make all of its symbols available to objects mentioned later, while for a static library, only those archive members that satisfy currently undefined symbols are linked, and the rest of the library ignored.
There is two possibilities for dynamic libraries:
If you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include path that in it libjpeg.so could be found, then ld will search in these paths for libjpeg.so automatically when it find out that libjasper.so needs it.
That libjasper.so may be built with a -rpath ld option. In this case, ld also will search in that path for dependent libraries automatically.
You can find out whether there is a rpath in libjasper.so by readelf -d /path/to/libjasper.so.
In my project it is required to implement IPsec to packets programatically. Currently my system captures packets utilizing netfilter queue and readies the packet to be mangled. From this point on I am clueless on how to implement IPsec to these packets.
During my research I came across a linux kernel library names xfrm however this lacks documentation to get a firm grip on it (https://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=how+to+use+xfrm+c&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#channel=fs&q=linux+ipsec+xfrm+example). I would really appreciate if any of you experts would provide me with some examples to perform IPsec with xfrm or any alternative methods to implement IPsec.
Thank you very much

I have a source directory which uses makefile to compile the code. This makefile/configure file is not written for ccache compatibility. So I thought to use ccache. I created alias in .bashrc as alias gcc='ccache gcc', but Makefile is still not considering this definition of gcc. So is there anything I can do without touching Makefile/configure file such that it takes ccache gcc instead of gcc.
Also CC='ccache gcc' ./configure is not an option, since it does not ask for CC.
If I write Makefile then I can provide ${gcc), but this is not an option, since I am not writing Makefile. Is there any way by which we don't need to change anything in source file, but still enable ccache compiling.
Aliases are local to the shell they are created in; unlike environment variables they are not passed to any programs that the shell invokes (including make). Make invokes /bin/sh, not /bin/bash, and /bin/sh doesn't read your ~/.bashrc etc. so no aliases defined there will be helpful to you.
I'm not exactly sure why you have placed some of the restrictions you mention on yourself: these things work fine and you haven't given a reason to avoid them that I understand. For example, providing a different CC with configure will work, if the version of autoconf is not really ancient. You can do this:
./configure CC='ccache gcc'
for example and that will set the default value of CC in your makefile to be ccache gcc. I don't know what you mean by "it does not ask for CC".
If you would prefer, you can also override the setting of CC on the make command line, like this:
make CC='ccache gcc'
which also works fine.
As described by the fine manual: Create a symlink named "gcc" in a directory that is listed in your PATH before the one containing the real gcc. This will cause ccache to be used transparently, with no need for any change to the makefile.
Add packaged ccache to PATH
PATH="/usr/lib/ccache:${PATH}" make
This is a versatile method, that:
works for all compilers at once: C, C++, etc.
depends less on the actual Makefile setup like CC could
does not break people's build if your are automating something and the target user does not have ccache installed
Mentioned at man ccache:
To use the second method on a Debian system, it's easiest to just prepend /usr/lib/ccache to your PATH. /usr/lib/ccache contains symlinks for all compilers currently installed as Debian
packages.
And you can confirm that with:
ls -l /usr/lib/ccache
which contains a ton of possible GCC names, including for installed cross compilers:
