 |
|
Hi,
I want do build the em28xx drivers an followed the instructions of this thread (last post).
I did the following:
| Code: |
# hg clone hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb-experimental
# make SRCDIR=/usr/src/linux LINUXINCLUDE="-I`pwd`/linux/include -I`pwd`/v4l -Iinclude -include include/linux/autoconf.h"
|
Everything compiles fine but the em28xx module wasn't built. Using make menuconfig I can't find any option which is for the mentioned driver. But every guide for this driver says that it is enough to do only make and make install.
This is my System:
- Gentoo Linux 2008.0 amd64
- Kernel: linux-2.6.25-gentoo-r7

skibbi,
That make (and make install) builds and installes the module for the kernel pointed to by /usr/src/linux.
That may not be your running kernel.
Compare | Code: | | readlink /usr/src/linux |
withif they return different kernel versions, you are building for one while running another, so you new module is not listed for your current kernel

This is the only kernel I have installed.
But I have just found the problem - the driver needs the i2c interface and I didn't activate it in the kernel. Now everything works.  |
