[linux-dvb] Re: SV: SV: Re: Compilation under RedHat 8.0

[Alexandre CONRAD <aconrad.tlv@magic.fr>]

Well, AFAIC, when i tried installing the dvb-kernel, it told me I didn't 
have loadable modules. So I did :

cd /usr/src/linux ; make menuconfig

Loadable module is already checked, so I just "exit", "save", and "make 
dep". Now dvb-kernel doesn't complain about modules... But mean while, I 
forgot about dvb-kernel (cause I get errors), and I tried installing 
from cvs drivers instead. And it won't compile. I also get the errors I 
posted before.

But I know that my kernel has module support. The i2c and v4l module are 
loaded by default in RH 7.2 / 7.3. I guess they are in RH8 also. Well, 
my webcam works, and it uses video4linux AFAIK, right ?

Regards,
