v4l-dvb compile broken with stock Ubuntu Karmic build (firedtv-ieee1394.c errors)

[Devin Heitmueller]

It seems that attempting to compile the current v4l-dvb against a
stock Karmic Koala build fails.  I suspect this has to do with the
fact that 2.6.30 is built with ieee1394 enabled, which causes
firedtv-ieee1394.c to get compiled, and that file references #include
files that do not exist.  As far as I can tell, IEEE1394 is not
enabled in my 2.6.27 build, which is why I was not seeing it before.

Other users reported this issue on the #linuxtv irc a few days ago,
and I though it was just something weird about their environment.

I'm not familiar with the firedtv driver, so if someone who is wants
to chime in, I would appreciate it.

What's the compile error exactly? The firedtv driver compiles fine in the 
daily build against the vanilla 2.6.30 kernel.

Unfortunately, I sent the email from work and didn't have the output
in front of me (or else I would have pasted it into the email).
Several people also reported it on #linuxtv on 6/11, but it looks like
the pastebins have already expired.  :-(

I will provide the output tonight.  I started to debug it last night,
and it seems that firedtv-ieee1494.c doesn't normally get compiled at
all, so if you add 1394 support to your build you will likely also see
the issue.

Hmm, I discovered that firedtv-1394.c isn't compiled in the daily build even 
though ieee1394 is enabled in the kernel. I can manually enable it, though: 
make menuconfig, disable and enable the firedtv driver, and then it 
magically works. But even then it still compiles fine against the vanilla 
2.6.30 kernel.

Well, I'm obviously kicking myself for not having captured the output
last night when I was at home.

So, you're saying that firedvt-1394.c is being compiled?

Let me rephrase the question:  Take a look at firedtv-1394.c, line 22,
and tell me where the file "csr1212.h" can be found either in your
kernel source tree or your v4l-dvb tree.

It's here:

/usr/src/linux/drivers/ieee1394/csr1212.h

Ok, I see what is going on:  the header files in question are
available if you have the full Linux source installed, but they are
not part of the "kernel-headers" package, at least on Ubuntu.
Combined with the fact that the file now gets built with 2.6.30 causes
the compile failures:

Re: v4l-dvb compile broken with stock Ubuntu Karmic build (firedtv-ieee1394.c errors)

Hello,

I came across this thread from June 2009 in the news archives about 
Ubuntu Karmic and v4l-dvb compile broken with stock Ubuntu Karmic build:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure/7161

I've just come across this issue myself after an upgrade of a server to 
the Ubuntu Karmic release.

Is there any plans to attempt to mitigate this so that other users would 
not be impacted?

Regards,
Thomas

I don't like answering my own messages but hopefully this will be useful 
to other users too who may come across the same issue as I and didn't do 
enough research before asking the question.

Ubuntu Karmic is missing some Firewire/IEEE1394 files in the 
kernel-headers package.

Workaround:
in the v4l folder, open the .config file, find the line with 
"CONFIG_DVB_FIREDTV=m" and change to "CONFIG_DVB_FIREDTV=n".
