 Posted: Fri Jun 01, 2007 8:22 pm Post subject: Compile ov511 failure with kernel 2.6.21 (Solved) |
 |

Hi,
I am trying to upgrade the driver ov511 for my webcam. The module in the kernel is quite old (1.64) whereas the latest version is http://alpha.dyndns.org/ov511/download.html#2.xx=2.32. The compile gave an error:

Googling brought me to the patch listed at http://groups.google.co.uk/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/b72bf31285cc261e/fdb187e50e361dd0?lnk=st&q=ov511+linux%2Fconfig.h&rnum=1&hl=en#fdb187e50e361dd0. The patch was successfull

However compile still fails with a different error now:

awesome, thanks! I've been looking for the past week how to get that issue resolved!
The kernel driver should be updated... There's no reason why the kernel should use 1.65 when 2.32 works so much better!
But then, I'm not a kernel dev...
Cheers!

My kernel is 2.6.24-gentoo-r2. What does it happen?
