Hi,

I have a 2.6.29 kernel for my embedded ARM system. I need an newer gspca
driver, so I downloaded the gspca driver from
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~hgoede/gspca/ an copied the content of the linux
folder to my 2.6.29 source tree and tried to cross compile it. But I get
the error "drivers/media/IR/irfunctions.c:27:20: error: compat.h: No
such file or directory". Where can I find the missing file and where I
have to put it in my linux tree?

Do you have some other ideas to cross compile the gspca driver?


The hg v4l-dvb trees are meant for out of tree compilation (this means your
v4l subsystem must be compiled modular).

You will want to not use my tree, but use the latest generic tree:
hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/
Then simply compile that tree (this will need the headers of your 2.6.29 kernel
in the usual place):
cd v4l-dvb
make menuconfig
make
sudo make install

And then reboot, now you will be using your 2.9.29 kernel with a fully
up2date v4l-dvb subsystem.

Regards,

Hans
