I tried to guide a newbie through compiling v4l. v4l did not compile right away, because of a problem in one of the drivers http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8241469#post8241469 a workaroudn was proposed: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1305228 I myself have not experienced this problem as I have used make alldepmod, where the offending driver was not selected. Can the default config be reprogrammed from all yes (which might easily fail on certain kernel versions) to the all dep config ? That way, new users have more chance to have a succesful make right away. -- 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
