Downloaded source for mercurial so I could retrieve the most recent tree of v4l-dvb. 2. source for mercurial would not compile even though installed all required dependencies. 3. retrieved v4l-dvd source tree from projects <http://linuxtv.org/hg> / hg/v4l-dvb <http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb?cmd=summary;style=gitweb> / tree. (bz2) 4. unpacked to home dir and renamed folder to v4l-dvb 5. entered v4l-dvb directory and executed ' make' 5a. this is the error returned :- make -C /home/andym/Suse10.1/v4l-dvb/v4l make[1]: Entering directory `/home/andym/Suse10.1/v4l-dvb/v4l' No version yet. scripts/make_makefile.pl /lib/modules/2.6.16.13-4-smp/build Creating Makefile.media. File not found: /lib/modules/2.6.16.13-4-smp/build/include/linux/config.h at ./scripts/make_kconfig.pl line 27. make[1]: *** No rule to make target `.config', needed by `.myconfig'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/andym/Suse10.1/v4l-dvb/v4l' make: *** [all] Error 2 6. removed directory v4l-dvb 7. went to Mr Pascoe's hg tree and downloaded his source tree and repeated steps 4 & 5 8. 'make' executed with no errors 9. executed 'make install', 1 error which according to documents was safe to ignore. 10. found the firmware download scripts about ten minutes after writing previous email :) 11. copied firmware to firmware directory for hot plug as per instructions. 12. dmesg error about missing firmware no longer appears but all other error about unknown symbols, and taint flags being set still there, and still suse 10.1 says a tv card is there, but there are no tuners, also suse's yast, complains about not being able to load certain apps when trying. I am currently on my 9th re-install of Suse, did re installs because I couldnt be sure I had cleaned the install fully between attempts to get the card working. If needed I can send copies of dmesg with all entries except for dvb removed ~200 lines!, same with lspci -v and lsusb -v Any help greatly appreciated Regards Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEstkAOsLN6K9RVNYRAoyfAJ9+BkjARPInW+KeKB/wHx8Z4rgJWACfWMOw EbR32LtnB+3Tqq+fBcr+4Fw= =rraL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
