Hi,
It seems like whenever I manage to solve one problem another one shows up, but I guess that's the only way to really learn.
I'm having trouble getting my Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX to work under my install of Etch with the 2.4.27-3-386 kernel (which I have to have due to a old CAN card). When it's plugged in I can see in dmesg that a usb device has been connected but that no driver has claimed it however lsusb is empty (although lsusb seems to be a seperate problem since I can plug in usb memory cards that works just fine that's still not shown on lsusb).
From what I understand my camera is suposed to be supported by the driver spca5xx but there's no binary packets for that one for the 2.4.27 kernel. So I have tried to compile it from source but when I do it gives me the error message:
drivers/usb/spca5xx.c: In function `spca50x_read_proc': drivers/usb/spca5xx.c:1096: error: structure has no member named `seq'
Anyone that has any ideas?

Solved it by editing the code at line 1096. The variable seq was just used in a printf so I simply made it print a 0 instead and now it compiles, installs and runs perfectly fine.

Hey, Spearhawk..
I have trying your tip but i didn't have success. Can you write your code for me, please?

This is the original code:

for (i = 0; i < SPCA50X_NUMFRAMES; i++) {
out += sprintf(out, "frame : %d\n", i);
out +=
sprintf(out, " sequence : %d\n", spca50x->frame[i].seq);
out +=
sprintf(out, " grabstate : %d\n",
spca50x->frame[i].grabstate);


I don't know what you made, but i tryed a lot of things and i didn't achieve. Thanks for your help!

bye!

Simply change line 1096 to: sprintf(out, " sequence : %d\n", 0);
You might also need to use a older version of gcc, I think I was using 3.3 at the moment (can't remeber exactly, was switching back and forth quite a lot due to diffrent things needing one version or another. The os was a mess but it ran the robot and go us through the competition, now's time to make it a bit more stable and slimed).

hehehe.. very good! The compilation of driver it's done..
This is my GCC [gcc version 3.4.6 ]

Spearhawk, thanks a lot!

bye!
