After this patch I can no longer compile the Hg version of v4l-dvb without root access. changeset: 3844:4d008d32fdcb user: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> date: Sat Apr 22 09:42:38 2006 -0300 summary: Adds capability to build conf/mconf/qconf/lxdialog at kernel tree If I try to compile without root access, the build system tries to build the kernel conf system: make -C /lib/modules/2.6.12-12mdkcustom/build srctree=/lib/modules/2.6.12-12mdkcustom/build HOSTCXX=g++ HOSTCC=cc -I. CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh -f /lib/modules/2.6.12-12mdkcustom/build/scripts/Makefile.build obj=scripts/kconfig qconf-target=1 scripts/kconfig/qconf make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.12-12mdk' cc -Wp,-MD,scripts/kconfig/.conf.o.d -c -o scripts/kconfig/conf.o scripts/kconfig/conf.c Of course this command, to build conf.o inside the system kernel tree, fails without root access. It seems like it thinks conf.c needs to be compiled, but it doesn't. $ ls -l /usr/src/linux/scripts/kconfig/conf* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 80537 Mar 24 16:54 /usr/src/linux/scripts/kconfig/conf* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10848 Jun 17 2005 /usr/src/linux/scripts/kconfig/conf.c -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9874 Jun 17 2005 /usr/src/linux/scripts/kconfig/confdata.c -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10368 Apr 24 15:59 /usr/src/linux/scripts/kconfig/conf.o It was built as part of the last kernel build and doesn't need to be remade. If I revert changeset 4d008d32fdcb then I can run make xconfig/menuconfig for v4l-dvb and build without problems. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
