need help compiling v4l cvs

gaah · 09-30-2005, 09:27 AM

I just bought myself a new tv card that needs the cvs version of v4l... I've tried to compile it but always fails... I did this:

Code:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxtv.org:/cvs/video4linux login
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxtv.org:/cvs/video4linux co video4linux
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxtv.org:/cvs/linuxtv login
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxtv.org:/cvs/linuxtv co -P dvb-kernel
cd video4linux
./scripts/merge-trees.sh
make

And as a result I get only errors... Files not being found and errors about incomplete types... I think this is the right way to compile the cvs, according to their wiki, so it has to be some other thing I'm missing... I've never tried to compile any modules before so this is a totally new thing for me... Please help!

Please copy the beggining of the errors (one screen, 3-4 first errors).

This is the whole output:

Actually, to clearify what I need... I have this compro videomate dvb-t300 tv-card, which needs the cvs version of v4l. Or at least a later version than the last stable I think. I need the saa7134 and saa7134-dvb modules that supports my card (modprobe saa7134 card=70 oss=1). The v4l that's already in the kernel will not due... So I need this.

And if I ever get these modules and I run modprobe, how can I be sure that it loads the cvs version instead of the old one?

It looks for me that you don't have kernel sources installed. You need them to compile your module.

New modules will overwrite the old ones. You may want to make a backup of them.
