Bug 140717 – spca5xx incompatible with kernel sources >=2.6.18

• Status: RESOLVED LATER
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Marti Raudsepp 2006-07-16 18:13:28 UTC]

The spca5xx webcam driver ebuild fails to compile due to V4L kernel-space declarations being moved from <linux/videodev.h> to <media/v4l2-dev.h>.

The attached patch fixes the issue.

[Comment 1 Marti Raudsepp 2006-07-16 18:16:44 UTC]

Created attachment 91940 [details, diff]
spca5xx-linux2.6.17-headers.patch

Patch to include either <linux/videodev.h> or <media/v4l2-dev.h> depending on kernel source version.

[Comment 2 Daniel Black (RETIRED) 2006-07-16 22:47:48 UTC]

Works for me - please provide emerge --info and what kernel versions you tried.


This is what I go:

Tried with vanilla-sources-2.6.17 and mm-sources-2.6.18_rc1-r1 (with a couple of bugfix patches), on amd64.


I didn't initially think this was important, but my emerge --info follows:

[Comment 4 Mike Doty (RETIRED) 2006-07-17 07:51:59 UTC]

2.6.17 is fine, however, the reporter isn't using 2.6.17 (according to portage) 2.6.18-rc1-mm1-non13 isn't supported.  try gentoo-sources-2.6.17  Thanks for the patch though, I might use it when 2.6.18 is released.

[Comment 5 Marti Raudsepp 2006-07-17 21:01:31 UTC]

Indeed, gentoo-sources has apparently reverted this change from vanilla 2.6.17, thanks for noticing that.
