Problem making v4l driver tree
According to the Mythtv Wiki on the pctv 800i card you need to extract firmware from windows file and download "v4l-dvb-c800683faf86.tar.gz", and do a make and make install to get the latest tree of drivers installed. However, when I did the make I got the following error.
------
Updating/Creating .config
Preparing to compile for kernel version 2.6.25
File not found: /lib/modules/2.6.25.16-0.1-pae/build/.config at ./scripts/make_kconfig.pl line 32, <IN> line 4.
make[1]: *** No rule to make target .myconfig', needed by config-compat.h'. Stop.
-----
I am use to resolving dependency errors but don't know what to do with
this one. I am using SuSe 11. Since I do get good video but no sound,
would it be a good idea to do an 'Install-sound' only-once I get it to make?

Mike,
the make file is looking for the .config from your installed
kernel. On some distributions like Gentoo it is where it is expected because Gentoo users compile another kernel at the drop of a hat. Other distros like ubuntu ship the config file but it is not in the right place. For ubuntu you would look in the /boot directory. It will be called something like config-<kernel revision>. Copy it to the name .config in the specified directory:
/lib/modules/2.6.25.16-0.1-pae/build/.config
You will need to find out what your distro does to ship the config file, get a copy and put it there.

Mike,
I usually find that it failing to find the include files
indicates that the kernel source/headers are not installed correctly. I find that for my distro doing a make kernel-links with perhaps a depmod thrown in fixes this kind of problem. I don't know about the IRQ loop but then honestly I don't know much about this stuff.
Cheers Paul

http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvbI tried that and then it could not find
/lib/modules/2.6.25.16-0.1-pae/build/include/linux/netdevice.h. Maybe I won't need to install the v4l tree. I say this because in dmesg I noticed the errorcx88[0]/1: IRQ loop detected, disabling interrupts
Now all I have to do is find out how to resolve it. Any ideas?
Thanks
Mike
