The top level kernel makefile exports all sorts of variables that aren't getting defined by the v4l-dvb makefile. HOSTCC is a different value, HOSTCFLAGS and HOSTCXXFLAGS aren't set, and so on. Is interfacing into the middle of the kernel build system like this supported? It seems like the command you're using just doesn't work on 2.6.12. Is there any reason to believe it will continue to work on 2.6.17 or 2.6.18 and so on? Having the v4l-dvb makefile automatically build *conf *when needed* could be convenient, but it looks like it's very hard to get it to work correctly. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
