Pinnacle PCTV HD Card (800i) problems (V4L-DVB)

[dreadh3ad]

Hey everyone,

While i have some experience with ubuntu I am still a relative noob with linux.
I am attempting to follow the installation directions at: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Pinnacle_PCTV_HD_Card_%28800i%29 on the newest version of mythbuntu.

I have extracted the firmware but problems arise with the V4L-DVB module. I followed the installation instructions as per http://linuxtv.org/repo/

However i run into problems when i attempt to make:

bakamyth@bakamyth-desktop:~/v4l-dvb$ make
make -C /home/bakamyth/v4l-dvb/v4l
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/bakamyth/v4l-dvb/v4l'

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `.myconfig', needed by `config-compat.h'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bakamyth/v4l-dvb/v4l'
make: *** [all] Error 2

What went wrong?

It almost looks like you may not have all the kernel headers installed. Look for and install something along the lines of linux-headers-generic. If that doesn't work for you, post back with a little more detail about your setup (version of Ubuntu, kernel version, version of gcc, etc...)

Also, how did you get v4l-dvb? Mercurial? If not you should have.
