HELLO

I dont believe this ... my 2.6.37-rc4 compilation gone bad again, because of the same error, and I have to recompile / re-package it, what needs some hours again .. :( :(

The correction below worked on 2.6.37-rc3 (i.e. insert #include <linux/smp_lock.h> into easycap_main.h)


WHY THIS WASN'T PATCHED SINCE LONG TIME ? Is the situation of the kernel developers similar bad like of the open office developers, so that they should be exchanged ???
