Bug 135539 – ivtv-0.6.2 ebuild does not correctly recognize kernel version

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Justus Ranvier 2006-06-04 10:21:22 UTC]

The ebuild for ivtv-0.6.2 does not recognize kernel 2.6.16.19 as being a "2.6.16" kernel.

 * Determining the location of the kernel source code
 * Found kernel source directory:
 *     /usr/src/linux
 * Found kernel object directory:
 *     /var/tmp/kernel-output/2.6.16.19
 * Found sources for kernel version:
 *     2.6.16.19

!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.

Looks pretty much like linux-mod eclass issue to me...

[Comment 2 Harald van Dijk (RETIRED) 2006-06-04 10:34:16 UTC]

From the ivtv ebuild:

    if [ ${KV_PATCH} -eq 14 ]; then
        CONFIG_CHECK="${CONFIG_CHECK} VIDEO_DECODER VIDEO_AUDIO_DECODER VIDEO_BT848"
    else
        die "This only works on 2.6.16 kernels"
    fi

I don't think this is an eclass issue. :)

Fixed kernel version.
