[vlc] Re: WinTv PVR 250 ivtv compilation problem

[Psycho Ph]

Firmwho ??????

Execuse Me, but I have read the  whole document up and
down left to right and right to left they say nothing
about any firmware so can you be more specific with
this please...



all they say about the subject is :
    * install both the kernel and the kernel source
rpm and boot that kernel
    * cd to /usr/src/linux
    * with root privledges run "make mrproper"
    * copy the config that matches your kernel from
/usr/src/linux-2.4/configs to
/usr/src/linux-2.4/.config
    * make sure /usr/src/linux is a sym link to
/usr/src/linux-2.4
    * with root privledges run "make oldconfig ; make
dep"
    * edit /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h and
remove "custom" from the end of the UTS_RELEASE
version number
    * also edit /usr/src/linux/Makefile and remove
"custom" from the end of the EXTRAVERSION version
number
    * go to where you have the ivtv driver source
(driver directory under the ivtv cvs module)
    * copy the videodev2.h here "cp
../utils/videodev2.h ./"
    * run make
    * load the modules as per the faq, order is
important
    * check dmesg for any wierd errors, the dirver is
quite verbose ATM so don't be alarmed
    * do the cat /dev/video0 test



many thanks for your
