Hi there

I need to compile the DVB-Realtek-RTL2832U modules as described here (for Ubuntu) but for my kernel version 3.5.7

the ubuntu way:
Quote:


...
- install linux headers
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
- clone this repo using git
git clone https://github.com/amb...
...
- compile code
make clean
make

- install module
sudo make install

- insert module (or reboot)
modprobe dvb_usb_rtl2832u



So far I have
...sys-kernel/linux-headers
Latest version available: 3.6
Latest version installed: 3.6

installed, but when I try to compile the module it tries to find the header dir:

Quote:

c2 RTL2832-2.2.2_kernel-3.0.0 # make
make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` SUBDIRS=/import/rtl/DVB-Realtek-RTL2832U-2.2.2-10tuner-mod_kernel-3.0.0/RTL2832-2.2.2_kernel-3.0.0 modules
make: *** /usr/src/linux-headers-3.5.7-gentoo: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [default] Error 2


Any idea how I could solve this if at all possible?

I believe this driver is in kernel since September 2012.

Thank you 8) . Upgraded from 3.5.7 to 3.7.2 and it works now. 3.5.7-gentoo did not contain the needed frontent for rtl2832u.
