Hi,
It works fine, just don't use a Redhat kernel. Download a pristine
Linus' tree
from kernel.org, apply patches, and off you go.
The redhat kernel has all kinds of lovely patches for stability etc...
which,
while nice, thoroughly break the v4l2 patches.
I've been doing that for 2.4.18 and 2.4.19, and the kernel
builds correctly, although the modules end up in a funny place.
I would expect them to go into
/lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/drivers/media/video
but they actually get put into /lib/modules/2.4.19/v4l2. Strange, but
depmod
finds them OK, and modprobe works.
unfortunately, the machine then hangs solid.
well the kernel build is clean :-)

Hi! i've tried it. I have RedHat 7.1 and you are right, it's impossible
(at least for me) :-) to build videodevX module. 'Make' creates the object
files but doesn't install in the especified path and when i write 'make
install' it answers something about unresolved symbols and errors with the
commmands 'cp' and 'mv'. I try to rewrite the Make's path but it doesn't
run. I think that recompiling kernel it's a possibility but...i don't know.
Tomorrow i'll try to build module under Debian distribution, perhaps,
the kernel could be configurated in other way and i could build it, ¿? who
knows...
Well, if someone can do it, please, send us the way!
Bye

hi all,
I'm new to this mailing list.
Anyone tryed to build videodevX module on RH 8.0 or earlier virsions.
The make file that comes along with the sources (V4L2) doesn't work
properly; at least on 8.0.
I'm pretty sure it's the new source tree makefile that is incompatible.
Any cues?
