[linux-dvb] Re: Linux DVB driver install howto

[Tim Hewett <tghewett1@onetel.net.uk>]

Hi,

In addition to my previous post I should add that simply following the
instructions in the INSTALL file gave these results:

[root@Linux linuxtv-dvb-1.0.1]# make
cat: CVS/Root: No such file or directory
(cd driver; make)
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/linuxtv-dvb-1.0.1/driver'
Makefile:102: /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/build/Rules.make: No such 
file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 
`/lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/build/Rules.make'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/linuxtv-dvb-1.0.1/driver'
make: *** [dvb] Error 2
[root@Linux linuxtv-dvb-1.0.1]#

Regards,

Tim.
