v4l2 for 2.4.x kernels replaces videodev.h so that my kernel wont compile anymore (either patched with new 2.6.0 i2c or not) sorry for my bloathed ignorance but may I ask whether this is by design ? and for my curiosity why so ? *maybe for v4l2 drivers to compile against it ?* tested with 2.4.3, 2.4.4 and 2.4.5 kernel sources the modules works all right, tested with bttv2 25062001 tough, after make install, I cannot compile kernel again with the new videodev.h, this is what i get: make modules ..... make -C video modules make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.5/drivers/media/video' gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.5/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-c videodev.c: In function `video_open': videodev.c:171: structure has no member named `owner' videodev.c:172: structure has no member named `owner' videodev.c:172: structure has no member named `owner' videodev.c:172: warning: value computed is not used videodev.c:181: structure has no member named `owner' videodev.c:182: structure has no member named `owner' videodev.c:182: structure has no member named `owner' videodev.c:182: warning: value computed is not used videodev.c: In function `video_release': videodev.c:205: structure has no member named `owner' videodev.c:206: structure has no member named `owner' videodev.c:206: structure has no member named `owner' videodev.c:206: warning: value computed is not used videodev.c: At top level: videodev.c:436: conflicting types for `video_register_device_Recfe1c4b' /usr/src/linux-2.4.5/include/linux/videodev.h:1324: previous declaration of `video_register_device_Recfe1c4b' videodev.c:564: warning: static declaration for `videodev_init' follows non-static make[3]: *** [videodev.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.5/drivers/media/video' make[2]: *** [_modsubdir_video] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.5/drivers/media' make[1]: *** [_modsubdir_media] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.5/drivers' make: *** [_mod_drivers] Error 2 btw gcc is gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Linux-Mandrake 8.0 2.96-0.48mdk) any clarification will be appreciated Michele Slocovich
