[linux-dvb] CVS Problems, and T200 unrecognised again (was RE:Compro DVB-T300 Remote)

[atkellyx]

Hi

I am back to attempted to get my PVR working after a fair break and am once again having difficulty.  My problem is the saa7134-dvb.ko does not seem to be being compiled (make install output below)

I have kernel 2.6.11.  I have removed the "undef HAVE_TDA1004X" from compat.h (for kernels < 2.6.13) and this makes no difference.  I have compiled by each of the following methods and get the same outcome - have I done this correctly?:

First try 
    followed the instructions on http://www.linuxtv.org/cvs.php from my DVB directory which contains my video4linux and dvb-kernel directories
    ran ./scripts/merge-trees.sh from video4linux
    make
    make install
Second try
    wiped out the contents of my DVB directory entirely 
    used the cvs to load the video4linux and dvb-kernel directories
    ran ./scripts/merge-trees.sh from video4linux
    make
    make install
Third try
    wiped out the contents of my DVB directory entirely     
    got latest stable release of video4linux from http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/video4linux/video4linux-20050801.tar.gz
    updated video4linux from cvs
    used the cvs to load the dvb-kernel directory
    ran ./scripts/merge-trees.sh from video4linux
    make
    make install

After all of the above the saa7134 drivers load fine with a modprobe saa7134 and the card type is recognised and this all seems fine (Compro Videomate DVB-T300 [card=70,autodetected]) but the saa7134-dvb modules does not exist to be loaded.

The problem I think is shown by my video4linux make install output as shown here 

Any ideas you might have would be great.  I actually had all this working a while ago and now I'm back at square 1.

thanks in advance

Anthony
