OK, well this WILL help you: I have added the makelinks functionality from dvb-kernel into v4l-dvb a few weeks ago, but I don't ever test this build method, so it may be broken... If anything's wrong, it may be some broken #includes to compat.h or i2c-compat.h -- If you have these problems, feel free to submit a patch, or show us the build errors and maybe we can fix them for you. To do it: "make kernel-links" Once again, this feature is undocumented, mainly because nobody has the time to maintain it , to make sure that it still works, (although it might) , and it WILL totally bork your kernel sources, (but you know this, as dvb-kernel's makelinks script did the same) Hope THIS helps, Mike
