I'm not a linux hacker or sthg., just a user, w/ some programming
experience, not that it matters anyways...
I tried to compile the 2.1.96 kernel, w/ all of the patches in place.
I have a GUS MAX sound card, and almost everything compiled fine,
except at the end it complained about unresolved references to ad1848
functions. I browsed the code/makefiles/configs a bit, and added the
following
to the Makefile in drivers/sound subdir:
ifeq ($(CONFIG_GUS),y)
L_OBJS += gus.o
LX_OBJS += ad1848.o // ADDED
else
ifeq ($(CONFIG_GUS),m)
M_OBJS += gus.o
MX_OBJS += ad1848.o // ADDED
endif
Then it compiled just fine. So i tried to compile the bt848 driver
for my WinTV card as a module, instaled modules, ran depmod -a
and it said unresolved dependencies in ALL bttv module files.
When examined, i found out the I2C module wasn't compiled at
all, which is essential to those modules. Again i think that the
CONFIG_VIDEO_BT848 section in drivers/char/Makefile should
include LX and MX_OBJS for i2c.o, or i'm doing something wrong.
BTW, the patches I used were all official linux patches, and i think it
happened in earlier kernels too.
Please reply, just to see if i'm the stupid one =)
Thanks,
matevz
