The ebuild for media-video/usb-pwc-re-20061023.042702 doesn't take advantage of the linux-mod eclass. The consequences of this are: - ebuild doesn't check for valid kernel configuration - module is installed in kernel/drivers/usb/media/pwc and therefore will be wiped out everytime the kernel is recompiled - module doesn't get added to moduledb Below I attach a new simplified ebuild that uses the linux-mod eclass and takes care of the issues mentioned above. It installs the module in media/video.

Looks nice, but something irritates me: The check für V4l1 when using a version that is supposed to support V4l2. Why this check?
You're absolutely right about the V4L1 check. At the time I was playing with the ebuild there were some undefined symbols that went away when I enabled V4L1. This problem doesn't happen anymore now. To check it I configured kernel with: # # Multimedia devices # CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=m # CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1 is not set # CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT is not set CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L2=y Then took the V4L1 check out from the ebuild and it worked fine.
Committed with little modifications (whitespace, the V4L1-check) - thank you very much!
The problem with the new ebuild is that it does not compile against the linked version (/usr/src/linux) of the kernel but against the currently running version.
It seems that the Makefile of the pwc package tries to be too smart and auto detects the kernel version using uname. The old ebuild gave "KSRC=${KERNEL_DIR}" as parameter to emake. This seems to do the trick. The new ebuild can be changed to do this with: ------ begin patch -------- # linux-mod variables BUILD_TARGETS="all" +BUILD_PARAMS="KSRC=${KERNEL_DIR}" MODULE_NAMES="pwc(media/video:)" CONFIG_CHECK="USB !USB_PWC" ERROR_USB="${P} requires Host-side USB support (CONFIG_USB)." --------end patch ---------
On another point, I still get the errors about undefined symbols if I don't have CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT set. I know the package is supposed to be for V4L2 but it seems to still need some things from V4L1. File "pwc.h" uses some symbols defined in "<linux/videodev.h>". The required symbols are inside a preprocessor conditional that looks like: #if defined(CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT) || !defined (__KERNEL__) So the symbols don't get defined if CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT is not set. Is anybody else getting this too?
Same here too.
Still fighting some other trouble and a flu - please be patient.
Re-added the KSRC tweak and the V4L1-check. Please re-open this bug if there are still problems.
