Hey, thanks for the info, but I still got a few questions: >From: Scott Alfter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: User discussion about IVTV <[email protected]> >To: User discussion about IVTV <[email protected]> >Subject: Re: [ivtv-users] Problem installing PVR500MCE >Date: Thu, 02 Feb 2006 12:59:55 -0800 > >-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >Hash: SHA1 > >Aries Aries wrote: > > Hi, I just bought a new computer together with a pvr500mce.

How do I do that?

But It still complains about not having these things in the module, so I thought to delete these modules in the ebuild, so I changed this line: CONFIG_CHECK="${CONFIG_CHECK} VIDEO_DECODER VIDEO_AUDIO_DECODER VIDEO_BT848" to CONFIG_CHECK="${CONFIG_CHECK}" Digested the ebuild and tried again. It passes the test but after that I get a lot of errors, like these: [...] /var/tmp/portage/ivtv-0.4.2-r2/work/ivtv-0.4.2/driver/saa7115.c:639: error: structure has no member named `name' /var/tmp/portage/ivtv-0.4.2-r2/work/ivtv-0.4.2/driver/saa7115.c:666: error: structure has no member named `name' [...] Maybe you could give me some guidelines to modify the ebuild. I would be very thankful Cheers! _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
