error compiling vdr 1.7.7 (frontend.h - '__u8' does not name a type)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi folks,

For the last few days I've been trying to compile vdr-1.7.7 on my debian 
system, and have failed miserably.
Googled, ramaged through forums and i'm possibly too dumb to understand 
what i'm doing wrong (high probability :()

I have tried to follow steps as outlined on several forums (ubuntu, 
dvbn) but the compile fails at last stage of vdr make.
Here is an example:

silicon:/home/src/vdr/vdr# make

 From reading some threads on the googles it suggests some problems with 
the kernel headers, but I'm afraid this is beyond my meager skills.

Could someone please put me out of my misery and suggest where I am 
going wrong?

Much thanks for any help on this in advance,
