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 g++ -g -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -Wno-parentheses -c -DUSE_CMDRECCMDI18N -DUSE_CMDSUBMENU -DUSE_CUTTIME -DUSE_DDEPGENTRY -DUSE_DOLBYINREC -DUSE_LIEMIEXT -DUSE_PLUGINMISSING -DUSE_SETTIME -DUSE_STREAMDEVEXT -DUSE_WAREAGLEICON -DUSE_YAEPG -DREMOTE_KBD -DLIRC_DEVICE=\"/dev/lircd\" -DRCU_DEVICE=\"/dev/ttyS1\" -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -DVIDEODIR=\"/video\" -DCONFDIR=\"/video\" -DPLUGINDIR=\"./PLUGINS/lib\" -DLOCDIR=\"./locale\" -DUSE_PLUGINAPI -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/home/src/s2-liplianin/linux/include vdr.c In file included from dvbdevice.h:13, from vdr.c:45: /home/src/s2-liplianin/linux/include/linux/dvb/frontend.h:92: error: '__u8' does not name a type /home/src/s2-liplianin/linux/include/linux/dvb/frontend.h:93: error: '__u8' does not name a type /home/src/s2-liplianin/linux/include/linux/dvb/frontend.h:98: error: '__u8' does not name a type /home/src/s2-liplianin/linux/include/linux/dvb/frontend.h:99: error: '__u8' does not name a type /home/src/s2-liplianin/linux/include/linux/dvb/frontend.h:361: error: '__u8' does not name a type make: *** [vdr.o] Error 1 silicon:/home/src/vdr/vdr# gcc -v Using built-in specs.

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