Hi!

Regarding installation of videodev there still is the problem described here:
http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2006-January/007601.html

This is about wrong order of includes in the Makefile.
Has this been fixed yet? I am still not getting videodev.ko installed until I
hack the Makefile.  I am wondering why none of the other developers are
experiencing problems.
I get the same issue, unless I manually install the videodev.ko or like you say edit the Makefile so that it installs it. Kinda a pain, but ya do what ya gotta do till it is fixed, hopefully they will address it soon!
I fixed this in my 'pending' tree two weeks ago, but Mauro refused to merge my fix:

http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mkrufky/pending

patch viewable at:

http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mkrufky/pending?cmd=changeset;node=91fe5ce70b0b

I have become thoroughly frustrated in trying to explain to Mauro why the #ifdef test fails in the inst_foo section of the Makefile, so I've given up. That tree will remain on linuxtv.org until he merges it or somebody else proposes an alternate fix.

I have moved on, and I'm working on fixing some things for the in-kernel build process. Matthias says that the Makefile inclusion order is wrong... Matthias, please propose a patch to fix it.

In the meantime, you guys can do the following to pull a clean up-to-date tree containing this fix:

hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
cd v4l-dvb
hg pull -u http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mkrufky/pending
make
make install

I hope this helps,

Michael Krufky


P.S.:  C.Y.M.  -- How did you find my ~mkrufky/2.6.16/ quilt series?  I mentioned it in #v4l just a few hours before you posted your email, but I don't recall seeing you in the chat room?  just curious...  Anyhow, proper 2.6.16 compatability has been applied to v4l-dvb master.
