So now you download a second copy of the kernel source, install that, and figure out how to get the Hg version to look at it instead of the system source it finds automatically? That seems like even more trouble than going to the system kernel and doing a make xxxconfig first. I like Michael Krufky's suggestion, add a command to build the kernel conf system to the v4l-dvb makefile, but don't make it automatic. Test for *conf and if it's not there print this: The kernel build system has not been compiled for the kernel source tree in $(KDIR) You can run 'make xconfig' from within your kernel sources, or run 'make build-system' from here to compile the necessary progams. You will need write access to the kernel source tree to do this. Even if it worked, I just don't like the idea of one package's build system automatically changing things somewhere else. > > Fixing this still doesn't let *conf build, there is something else wrong too. > What's happening?

Even if I'm root, it tries to compile without needing to, and when it does, it doesn't work: [root@t2 v4l-dvb]# make xconfig make -C /home/xyzzy/v4l-dvb/v4l xconfig make[1]: Entering directory `/home/xyzzy/v4l-dvb/v4l' creating symbolic links... make -C /lib/modules/2.6.12-12mdkcustom/build srctree=/lib/modules/2.6.12-12mdkcustom/build HOSTCXX=g++ HOSTCC=cc -I.

Second, I did make xconfig in the v4l-dvb dir, but it's trying to compile mconf.c; it doesn't need mconf.c except for menuconfig. Third, mconf.c won't compile when v4l-dvb tries to compile it. If I run make menuconfig from the kernel dir, it works fine. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
