ALSA installation issues.

[W. Guy Thomas]

There are three steps to the ALSA config according to the site:
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Yamaha&card=&chip=OPL3-SA2&module=opl3sa2

I was able to complete 1 and 2, compiling the drivers and the libs file.
But on step 3, compiling the utils section, I am running into problems.

a. The ./configure portion appears to finish nicely, no complaints.
b. The "make" portion appears to have "nothing to do" as all I get is
this:

So it appears the folders get created but nothing else happens.
Then on "make install" I get the same thing:

So of course when I go to the final step, to modprobe the drivers into
the kernel, there are no files there yet.

Any pointers graciously accepted. Thanks guys.
