I am trying to compile puppy to talk to my Topffield PVR. It has a USB link and Topfield only supply Mac and Win software. Someone has got a *nix program called puppy working. (Not to be confused with linux-puppy)
On compiling it on Knoppic 3.8 I get
>In file included from /usr/include/linux/usb.h:4,
> from usb_io.h:33,
> from puppy.c:48:
>/usr/include/linux/mod_devicetable.h:21: error: Fehler beim Parsen before "kernel_ulong_t"
>/usr/include/linux/mod_devicetable.h:36: error: Fehler beim Parsen before "kernel_ulong_t"
Repeated several times for other lines in the same header file.
I asked the puppy admin and he replied:
This sounds like a problem with the system headers on your distro. At a
guess, you have a mixture of kernel 2.4 and 2.6 headers.
In the case of /usr/include/linux/mod_devicetable.h, __KERNEL__ should
NOT be defined on a 2.6 system and the inclusion of the file should do
nothing.
Currently I am downloading 4.0.2 to see if it makes any difference, slightly worried re the USB problem posted elsewhere, but would be grateful for any pointers.
TIA
