[linux-dvb] New install

[Matt Tovey <Matt.Tovey@sgi.com>]

Hallo,

I'm just getting myself setup to use DVB under Linux, and I'm having
some problems compiling the DVB package - is this the right place to ask
for some help?

I have RH7.0 with kernel 2.4.6 installed. I've downloaded
siemens_dvb-0.9-20010618 and I'm following the instructions in the
INSTALL file. 

The problem is that 'make' works its way down through the driver build
to the apps/tuxzap directory, and gives up as no Makefile is found.

Looking in the tuxzap directory, there is no Makefile there. The INSTALL
file says to run 'configure' to generate the Makefile, but there is also
no 'configure'. I have run autogen.sh to try to create the 'configure'
script (had to install all sorts of packages that weren't already on my
system), but that fails, as follows:

Firstly, gettextize says that I should update aclocal.m4. I've tried
doing so, but it always gets overwritten when I rerun the autogen
script.
Then aclocal says 'AM_PATH_GTK' not found in library.
Then automake says that 'INTLLIBS' is not defined.
autoconf then says that AC_PROG_LIBTOOL is undefined.
Finally, configure then comes up with the error that AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is
not known to it ("syntax error near unexpected token").
I've tried to read up on this gettext stuff, but haven't got anywhere!

Also, I went back to the linuxtv web site, and noticed that the version
0.9 stuff wasn't there to download anymore. So I downloaded 0.8.2, but
then had other problems with compiling the DVB driver, as well as the
same problems with tuxzap!

Thanks for your patience, any advice much appreciated.

Cheers,

Matt
