As I digged a little bit deeper, I saw, that the root of all evil is a clash between glibc's stdint.h and linux/types.h (the latter defines some POSIX types defined in stdint.h as well, which wasn't the case for asm/types.h). I'm not sure yet, if this is a glibc or a kernel issue, but I'll file a bug report as soon as I know. As for the problem Reinhard Nissl reported for the missing 'uint16_t' in linux/dvb/audio.h - I can't reproduce this problem.

I did initially subscribe to that list, but after a few days I unsubscribed again, because there was way too much non DVB related stuff there. As for VDR, I'll probably just add a note to the INSTALL file, saying that the DVB driver header files are broken and should be patched or replaced with an older version.

The V4L/DVB mailinglist are infact not used any more for patches (and a global statement was made to send those patches to the linux-media mailinglist) and I haven't seen any of the developers being active on it for some time.

My 2ct: - An application should not need to use -D__KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES. - Any header file that requires other header files to be included should do so by itself. - The sequence in which header files are included should not matter. I normally list them alphabetically, to easily find a particular one. I currently solve the broken DVB driver header files by replacing them with the ones from an earlier driver version, where they still worked. I had posted this problem on the linux-dvb ML a while ago, but apparently nobody cared... Klaus ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

VDR 1.6.0 and 1.7.4 compile fine with 2.6.29 and GCC 4.3 on x86_64. It works also with the latest drivers from Igors repository.

I used -D__KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES but compilation then failed on the use of __u8 in . ISTR reading that might only be a problem for 64-bit. I resorted to changing it to unsigned char.

[vdr] Compilation issues with recent DVB header files vs libc6
Hi! Recent DVB driver releases (now in Kernel 2.6.29) cause trouble compiling VDR (see snippet A below). The common solution to this seems to be to add a "-D__KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES". It felt wrong somehow and I didn't liked this, so I tried another solution, which is to have any libc6 includes appear before the linux DVB header includes . Doing this only in dvbdevice.c seems to do the trick for VDR (see snippet B). I works for VDR 1.6.0 as well as VDR 1.7.4. I think the root of this problem is caused by the Kernel headers / DVB drivers changing from asm/types.h to linux/types.h: -#include +#include How should this problem ideally be fixed? Is my solution (snippet B) better than using -D__KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES or should the kernel / DVB driver developers be blamed for this?
