configure can not check your kernel configuration
 

Hello,

I am trying to install RivaTV, where is my kernal config? what do I have to do to it?


# ./configure
Checking for configured kernel headers... found [/lib/modules/2.4.18-14/build]
Checking for linux kernel >= 2.4.0... yes [2.4.18-14]
Checking for kernel build system... found
Checking for kernel configuration... not found
*** WARNING:

Your setup got 0 error(s) and 1 warning(s).
We recommend you try to resolve the issues before using RivaTV.

I thought I was on a roll with linux untill I hit this wall :(

Thank you in advance.

Install the kernel-headers package matching exactly the kernel you're running (v2.4.18-14). You should be able to get it from wherever you got the kernel in the first place.

Thanks for answering, but I origanlly had 2 warnings but I installed the headers and make deps etc... now there is only the one as shown above...

here, total installation :

install your kernel-headers package (2.4.20-20.9-athlon for example)

go to /lib/modules/$KERNEL_VERSION$/build (/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-20.9/build for example)

type : sudo make dep
find your kernel configuration ( locate *.config for find it, /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-20.9/configs/kernel-2.4.20-athlon.config for example)

type : sudo make xconfig
load your configuration and save it and exit

go to your rivaTV directory and type :

./configure
sudo make
sudo make install
su -
modprobe rivatv
exit

open a new terminal and type : xawtv

normally, ritatv works :)

I downloaded RivaTV from CVS and all worked fine.
I think there is a problem with the latest release?
