[linux-dvb] Can't compile after 4th Dec 02

["Glenn Morgan" <Glenn@MorganConsulting.fsnet.co.uk>]

Hi All

I've been battling away with the DVB driver and vdr for a few weeks now
and I'm not having much luck :(

Sorry if this is not totally DVB specific but I'm no expert so it's
difficult to work out where my problems are originating from.

I'm running with a Nova-T and a Sigma Hollywood+ card under SuSE 7.2,
Kernel 2.4.4

I've currently got my box up and running with DVB drvier (cvs
04-12-2002), vdr 1.1.20 and vdr-dxr3 0.1.4 but the stability, among
other things, is very poor.

This is what I've done to get my DVB driver up and running:

Fresh SuSE install

cd /usr/src/linux
make cloneconfig
make dep

download DVB snap shot from linuxdvb.tv
cd DVB/driver
patch ./av7110/av7110.c with kernel 2.4.4 compile fix (see post
http://www.linuxtv.org/mailinglists/linux-dvb/2002/09-2002/msg00168.html
)
make
make insmod

This all works unless I try a snap shot more recent than 4/12/02 when I
get the following:

.
.
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.4.SuSE/include -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -02 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe
-mpreferred-stact-boundary=2 -march=i585 -DMODULE -I.. -I. -g
-DCONFIG_DVB_AV7110_OSD -MD -I../../include -c -o av7110.o av7110.c
av7110.c: Infunction `arm_thread`:
av7110.c:352: warning: implicit declaration of function
`reparent_to_init`
.
.

Looking at the change log it would appear that it could be related
thread patch.  Am I missing a library or something?

I've also tried building the 2.4-build of the dvb-kernel version but
when I do this it complains that I have a missing stringify.h from my
kernel source.  Any ideas?

Which driver version should I be using now?

When I start a > 5/12/02 version of the driver and run dvbtune for the
frst time I get the parameter too large error that other have been
talking about.

And with my current setup vdr will only tune to tv channels from the
last mux I ran dvbtune against.



Thanks in advance

Glenn
