[MPlayer-users] enable dvb support

[Jon Evans]

I'm working with a Slackware 10.2 install,  Backtrack cd.

I have the kernel source 2.6.15.6,  and yes the drivers are installed
for my device.   I had to manually create the /etc/udev/scripts/dvb.sh
to create the necessary character devices.   I know the system is
working cause I have kaffine working with my DVB USB stick without any
problems.   When I tried the default mplayer install on this distro I
got an error,  e.g. using mplayer dvb://channel produced something like
no file found.   I assumed that it wasn't compiled correctly for dvb so
removed it to compile support for dvb using the source code.

The mplayer documents refer to the linuxtv utils,  and I believe it is
those headers that the Makefile is trying to use.

Here are the files:-
slax dvb # pwd
/root/DVB/include/linux/dvb
slax dvb # ls -l
