That's easy, just ask the rpm database (rpm -qa ivtv-kmdl-\*) or check under /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates (!) But I don't know if it is worth while checking this in the Makefile. Thinking a bit further into the future, what check would have to be made if ivtv becomes part of the kernel? At some point one needs to assume that a user building himself should be able to do the module detection/deactivation by himself. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
