OK For your information, the patch by r.dunlap works on 2.6.37-rc4 too, the second compilation (including the patch) was successful.

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 ???

This is fixed in Linux-next and will be going to Linus in a few days.

thanks,
