Building v4l-dvb drivers

[scweston]

Hi,

I hope my question isn't too specific for the 'general help' section of this forum, but I'm having problems building and installing the v4l-dvb drivers I need to get my tv tuner card working properly.

I've done a fresh install in Karmic using the recently released final version and followed the guide here http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Ho...Device_Drivers

Everything seems to work smoothly until I get the errors below about 3minutes in to te building process: -

I'm not a linux expert and do most things by following How-To guides, but can find nothing to help me here. Anybody able to help?

If you need any more details to enable you to assist me the please let me know.

[gefenm11]

in the v4l folder, open the .config file,
find the line

CONFIG_DVB_FIREDTV=m

and change it to

CONFIG_DVB_FIREDTV=n

[scweston]

Thanks gefenm11,

Your instructions worked perfectly. Now have managed to build and install the v4l-dvb driver.

Much appreciated
Stephen

[spleblem]

sorry, please delete post

[ahti000]

cant find any .config file with that line actually. What might be wrong

Hi ahti000

Initially I had trouble finding it too! If I remember correctly I couldn't find the .config file after I had created the v4l-dvb folder with the following command: -

hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb

However, after trying to build the drivers with the 'make' command (and failing) the .config file appeared in v4l folder inside the v4l-dvb directory. I then edited that file and just ran the 'make' command again, which then seemed to work.

Hope this helps! I imagine the as part of the make command it creates a default .config file.

Also, remember the .config file is a hidden file so if your looking for it in a file manager you'll need to select 'view hidden files' somewhere in the options.

[amin-v]

in the v4l folder, open the .config file,
find the line

CONFIG_DVB_FIREDTV=m

and change it to

CONFIG_DVB_FIREDTV=n

Thanks gefenm11
It worked great with me

I found the file .config in v4l-dvb/v4l

also you could generate a new one with this command
make config

Awesome working for me too, thanks guys, this may be a turning point for my linux experience!
