Hi!
I just saw you commited that include of compat.h in:
http://linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/dvb-kernel/linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/dvbdev.h?rev=1.27&view=log
My Haupauge Nova-S doesn't work with my kernel (2.6.13), so I tried to
backport CVS Head for my kernel version, but it's missing compat.h. Have you
forgotten to commit.h or is it supposed to be provided by the common kernel
headers?
What Michael said about getting the Mercurual (Hg) repository instead of CVS is
all true, but you will still have the same problem.
If you try to take the current sources and put them into the kernel, it won't
compile cleanly. You will still be missing compat.h, which is in (once you
get the Hg sources) v4l-dvb/v4l/compat.h. It easy enough to make a link to
it from where it's needed, but you will still have other problems. They
can be fixed, I compiled the Hg sources with kernel 2.6.12, but it's a pain.
A pain you don't need to go though. You can just compile the Hg sources
outside the kernel directly from the v4l-dvb source tree. Just follow the
README that comes with v4l-dvb, it works fine.
I only compiled as part of the kernel so I could test changes I made to the
kernel build Kconfig files.
Here is what both of you don't know:
This is how to compile a new kernel, containing the very latest v4l-dvb
code. This method allows you to symlink the code from the mercurial
tree directly into your kernel sources to build it all in one shot.
(warning - this will hose your kernel sources -- if you want to go back
to the vanilla kernel, you'll have to unpack the tarball again)
try this:
1) clone the mercurial tree
2) cd v4l-dvb
3) make kernel-links
This step does the symlinking into the sources of your currently running
kernel. If, however, you want to symlink into an alternate location of
kernel sources, then you would do this instead:
(from v4l-dvb top level dir ONLY)
v4l/scripts/makelinks.sh /path/to/kernel/source
4) build your new kernel as you normally would... This time, it will
contain the latest bleeding-edge drivers from v4l-dvb.hg
I hope you find this useful.

Michael Krufky
