Description Scott James 2009-04-24 05:08:06 UTC 
ivtv-utils-1.3.0 complains about KMOD missing in kernel config.
also, it was missing a symbol from ivtv.h

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge ivtv-utils   (with gentoo-sources kernel 2.6.25-r1)
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
got errors described above (and shown fixed below)


Expected Results:  
should install ivtv properly for 2.6.25



Just FYI...

I made a bug fix for media-tv/ivtv-utils-1.3.0-r1

I had to create media-tv/ivtv-utils-1.3.0-r2 (my custom version).

I replaced KMOD with MODULES in the kernel config dependency check in the ebuild.

ivtv-utils # diff ivtv-utils-1.3.0-r1.ebuild ivtv-utils-1.3.0-r2.ebuild
30c30
< 	CONFIG_CHECK="EXPERIMENTAL KMOD HAS_IOMEM FW_LOADER I2C I2C_ALGOBIT
---
> 	CONFIG_CHECK="EXPERIMENTAL MODULES HAS_IOMEM FW_LOADER I2C I2C_ALGOBIT


This built fine for me on 2.6.29-gentoo-r1

I also had to emerge  sys-kernel/linux-headers for the latest to pickup
a fix for a missing symbol in ivtv.h

Please attach unified diffs (diff -u) when you did changes to an ebuild. That would be much more handy for our devs.

I followed Scott James lead; successful on x86_64 amd64; diff -u follows:

http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Main_Page explicitly notes that ivtv-utils is for kernel version 2.6.26 and newer, not 2.6.25. You need to use media-tv/ivtv
