 |
|
I just updated my kernel to gentoo-sources-2.6.24 and am having problems recompiling my stk11xx syntek webcam driver, which was compiling and working fine under 2.6.23-r5. If I use the ebuild in bugzilla, or the svn ebuild, posted in a thread here, I am having the same compile error;

OK.. I kind of figured based on this post in a thread over at the sourceforge forum for the syntekdriver, that since the unused .hardware V4L1 field was removed in the v4l core, that it would likely require a simple change in the driver code to compile correctly. This post suggests it's as simple as commenting out line 1659 in stk11xx-v4l.c.
So truly being the noob I am, would someone have a spare moment to walk me through creating a patch to apply in the ebuild process so that the one offending line in the source code file be commented out at ebuild time? I tried doing a simple;
| Code: | | diff -up stk11xx-1.2.3/stk11xx-v4l.c stk11xx-1.2.3-r2/stk11xx-v4l.c > stk11xx-1.2.3_vid_dev.patch |
Which creates a patch file that I edited to the following;
| Code: | --- stk11xx-v4l.c 2007-12-07 04:20:29.000000000 -0500
+++ stk11xx-v4l.c 2008-02-02 13:47:53.732226263 -0500
@@ -1656,7 +1656,7 @@ int v4l_stk11xx_register_video_device(st
dev->vdev->dev = &dev->interface->dev;
dev->vdev->owner = THIS_MODULE;
dev->vdev->type = VID_TYPE_CAPTURE;
- dev->vdev->hardware = VID_HARDWARE_STK11XX;
+// dev->vdev->hardware = VID_HARDWARE_STK11XX;
dev->vdev->fops = &v4l_stk11xx_fops;
dev->vdev->release = video_device_release;
dev->vdev->minor = -1; |
But trying to apply the patch in my ebuild fails with the following output;
| Code: | can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|--- stk11xx-v4l.c 2007-12-07 04:20:29.000000000 -0500
|+++ stk11xx-v4l.c 2008-02-02 13:47:53.732226263 -0500
--------------------------
No file to patch. Skipping patch.
1 out of 1 hunk ignored |
If you want to ignore all that silliness that I did, maybe you can just walk me through the simplest way to create a patch to stk11xx-v4l.c, to comment out line 1659, that can be applied during the Gentoo ebuild process, for this driver.
Thanks |

You can break an emerge into individual steps. Here is an example :
| Code: | cd /usr/portage/sys-boot/elilo/
ebuild /usr/portage/sys-boot/elilo/elilo-3.6_p20060314.ebuild digest
ebuild /usr/portage/sys-boot/elilo/elilo-3.6_p20060314.ebuild unpack
ebuild /usr/portage/sys-boot/elilo/elilo-3.6_p20060314.ebuild compile
ebuild /usr/portage/sys-boot/elilo/elilo-3.6_p20060314.ebuild install
ebuild /usr/portage/sys-boot/elilo/elilo-3.6_p20060314.ebuild qmerge |
After the unpack step and before the compile step, you can edit the source code in /var/tmp/portage/ (look for work/ folder).

Until someone more knowledgeable than I suggests an ebuild patch mentioned above to comment out the one line of the source code, OR until the Syntekdriver team over at sourceforge update their code to work with 2.6.24, the temporary solution is to simply comment out line 1659 in stk11xx-v4l.c. I got it compile for me by placing 2 slashes in front of the line as follows;
// dev->vdev->hrdware = VID_HARDWARE_STK11XX
You are free to pause the ebuild process as mentioned in hirakendu's post above, patch the source file, and complete the Gentoo compile and install, or to do it all manually. I used the manual ebuild process successfully. I'll mark this issue solved, as it looks like the problem with the compile has been identified, even if no clean Gentoo solution is available right now. |

| Much better solution has appeared now that the developers have updated the driver code. No longer necessary to provide a patch for the ebuild process. Using the svn ebuild, if you build from svn sources that are at least revision 72 or later, this problem has been fixed. If you would prefer to use the ebuild from bugzilla, there's one for version 1.3.1 of the driver, which also builds fine in 2.6.24. |
