Use "make release DIR=/other/kernel/src/dir" to compile for any kernel you want. I haven't tried cross-compiling v4l-dvb so I'm not sure how that will work. I'd just try the standard ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE settings like a kernel build uses and see what happens. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
