I'm not quite sure of how I should do this, so I will describe as much
as possible. Please feel free to tell me how I should have done it so I
know for next time!
The patch when running
make kernel-links KDIR=/path/to/kernel
fails with the following "linux/include/linux/videodev.h.rej" file:
***************
*** 1,6 ****
#ifndef __LINUX_VIDEODEV_H
#define __LINUX_VIDEODEV_H
#include <linux/types.h>
#define HAVE_V4L1 1
--- 1,7 ----
#ifndef __LINUX_VIDEODEV_H
#define __LINUX_VIDEODEV_H
+ #include "compat.h"
#include <linux/types.h>
#define HAVE_V4L1 1
The reason that this fails is that there is an additional line "#ifdef
CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT" before "#define HAVE_V4L1 1" which is not in
the patch, and linux/types.h has changed to linux/videodev2.h . IE:
#ifndef __LINUX_VIDEODEV_H
#define __LINUX_VIDEODEV_H
#include <linux/videodev2.h>
#ifdef CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT
#define HAVE_V4L1 1
I'm not sure how to make a patch, so here is my first attempt:
$ diff -u -p v4l/scripts/makelinks.sh_OLD v4l/scripts/makelinks.sh

With this patch I now get:
patching file linux/include/linux/videodev.h
Hunk #1 succeeded at 12 (offset 11 lines).
Which looks good to me?
I hope that this helps. You are all doing sterling work, thank you so
much. I use your drivers daily, on my MythTV box, and if it wasn't for
you guys my stress levels would probably be higher due to less time
spent vegging out in front of it. Thanks again. :)

What I usually do is:
1) Install the kernel sources
2) hg update in v4l-dvb
3) in v4l-dvb, do make kernel-links KDIR=/path/to/kernel
I too get the patch faillure at this stage, but I've just been ignoring it :)
This'll hook the DVB drivers into the kernel, replacing the DVB stuff there
already.. all you need to do now is cd to the kernel directory, and do a
normal kernel configure/compilation. The HG drivers will have been patched
into the kernel so you should see 'em pop up in there.
