Gerd's bttv-0.8.33 driver compilation problem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hello,

I do not know if this issue has already come up on the

mailing list... If it has... sorry for bringing it back!

I can't compile bttv-0.8.33. This is the situation:

I have,

- a clean kernel 2.4.17 compiled with i2c, v4l and bttv support

(all compiled as modules)

- Gerd's patches downloaded from bytesex.org/patches

- Gerd's driver bttv-0.8.33, also downloaded from his site

Here's what I've done:

1. Compiled 2.4.17 kernel & modules, and rebooted with them

(yes, yes, all the symbolic links to the kernel tree are OK)

2. Downloaded "videodev-2.4.18.diff.txt" into /usr/src

3. Downloaded "v4l2-01-add-api-2.4.19-pre8.diff.gz" into /usr/src/linux

4. Applied patch "videodev-2.4.18.diff.txt" by doing:

"patch -p0 < videodev-2.4.18.diff.txt" on /usr/src

5. Applied patch "v4l2-01-add-api-2.4.19-pre8.diff.gz" by doing:

"patch -p1 < v4l2-01-add-api-2.4.19-pre8.diff.gz" on /usr/src/linux

(a bit strange, but it seems to only work this way, otherwise I get "file
not found errors")

6. The patches went well, then I compiled bttv-0.8.33 with "make". It broke
on file

"bttv-driver.c" with that well-known error of "video_generic_ioctl
undeclared...".

Have I done something wrong? I've also tried with 2.4.18...

As I'm sure Gerd is doing a very good job, and my expertise is very limited,

let me know, please, where did I messed up...



Greetings,
