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?
current CVS head, module DVB/ if you want to watch TV, module
dvb-kernel/ if you want to join development. As alternative you might
want to try the metzlerbros driver, this is essentially the same as you
get in module DVB/ a few months ago but with some bugfixes we did not
yet merged.
