Hello,

I have a strange compile error with kernel 2.6.25. I already searched through the web but couldn't find anything.

tim@notebook ~/v4l-dvb $ make
make -C /home/tim/v4l-dvb/v4l
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/tim/v4l-dvb/v4l' No version yet, using 2.6.25

The master branch is currently broken. In backporting some changes from -git, it appears that Mauro had forgotten to "hg add" a Kconfig file. I've cc'd him to this email, and hopefully he'll fix the problem soon. In the meanwhile, you can roll back to the commit before the breakage:

changeset: 7794:51c8465ecc72

To do this, you can clone a fresh tree at that revision:

hg clone -r 51c8465ecc72 {source tree} {destination tree}

...There are some other ways to do this as well ... this is the easiest.

I hope this helps,

Mike
