[MPlayer-users] CVS compile tv-v4l2 input driver not detected/enabled

[bartonbosch at gmail.com]

Hi List,

Fedora Core 3, AMD Sempron 2800+, 2.6.12 kernel.

I've been using tv-v4l2 for my Hauppage 878 based cap card with an 
ancient CVS Snapshot (~4/2005) until a recent power outage corrupted the 
superblock on my root file system.  Seeing as how I was reinstalling my 
OS anyway, and the CVS snapshot function at mplayerhq is b0rken I 
figured it was time to take another shot at compiling from CVS.

Unfortunately though everything else seems fine (including x/mga and 
v4l) there seems to be some problem with v4l2.  v4l2 is not being 
auto-detected and tv-v4l2 is not being enabled.  Trying to force it with 
a ./configure option results in a compilation that exits with an error. 
  I can post the results of the failed compilation if needed/helpful, 
below is the output of the default ./configure:

'config.h' and 'config.mak' contain your configuration options.
Note: If you alter theses files (for instance CFLAGS) MPlayer may no longer
       compile *** DO NOT REPORT BUGS if you tweak these files ***

'make' will now compile MPlayer and 'make install' will install it.
Note: On non-Linux systems you might need to use 'gmake' instead of 'make'.

Please check mtrr settings at /proc/mtrr (see DOCS/HTML/en/video.html#mtrr)


Check configure.log if you wonder why an autodetection failed (check whether
the development headers/packages are installed).
Do not report compilation errors if you used any of the --enable-* options
(except --enable-gui and maybe --enable-debug).

If you suspect a bug, please read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html.



Thanks,
