Hi,

Im having problems installing Linux DVB drivers and software on Mandrake 10.

I get a strange error on make command, and wondering why on this program, why I cant make, and what is this error?

Make has worked in the past, but not on theis program and Im not understanding this error, cos there is a makefile there, I also tried to download Via CVS on the terminal, and the same error exists when i try to run Make here is the error:

have you tried typing ./configure
first? some programs require you to do that.

Thank you you for you reply rahmed.

Yes I also tried the ./configure command, and nothing, there was error "file not found"
and in the README. the instructions are to simply do ./getlinks then make and so on....and this strange error about there makefile is puzzling.

it looks like the makefile isnt configured properly for you system. take a look at it...and see if there are any comments or anything where you're supposed to edit it. Like it it tries to build at the /lib/modules/2.6.3-7mdk/build/.config folder...that doesn't exist and it doesn't exist on my system either. see if you can change where its supposed to build to or something like that.
