Hi
I am back to attempted to get my PVR working after a fair break and am once again having difficulty. My problem is the saa7134-dvb.ko does not seem to be being compiled (make install output below)
I have kernel 2.6.11. I have removed the "undef HAVE_TDA1004X" from compat.h (for kernels < 2.6.13) and this makes no difference. I have compiled by each of the following methods and get the same outcome - have I done this correctly?:
First try
followed the instructions on http://www.linuxtv.org/cvs.php from my DVB directory which contains my video4linux and dvb-kernel directories
ran ./scripts/merge-trees.sh from video4linux
make
make install
Second try
wiped out the contents of my DVB directory entirely
used the cvs to load the video4linux and dvb-kernel directories
ran ./scripts/merge-trees.sh from video4linux
make
make install
Third try
wiped out the contents of my DVB directory entirely
got latest stable release of video4linux from http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/video4linux/video4linux-20050801.tar.gz
updated video4linux from cvs
used the cvs to load the dvb-kernel directory
ran ./scripts/merge-trees.sh from video4linux
make
make install
After all of the above the saa7134 drivers load fine with a modprobe saa7134 and the card type is recognised and this all seems fine (Compro Videomate DVB-T300 [card=70,autodetected]) but the saa7134-dvb modules does not exist to be loaded.
The problem I think is shown by my video4linux make install output as shown here
Any ideas you might have would be great. I actually had all this working a while ago and now I'm back at square 1.
thanks in advance
Anthony
