Hi PWC group, My previous emails on this FedoraCore6 PWC compile issue where that it was not compiling. The stock PWC driver with FC6 is *NOT* the latest Saillard.org snapshot or it is simply not fully supporting the SPC900NC the way a manually compiled PWC from source does. In my case LongeXposure LED-based mod was not being supported properly, so I needed to compile the latest snapshot. Today I found a compile fix, and here it is:
FC6 is missing the 'config.h' file in the directory /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i586/include/linux/ therefore you need to 'cd' to that directory and 'touch config.h' to create a zero-byte file with its name. That is all! Now compile pwc with 'make' and put the pwc.ko into one or both of these directories: /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/kernel/drivers/usb/media/pwc.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/kernel/drivers/media/video/pwc/pwc.ko then do 'rmmod pwc' and 'modprobe pwc' and 'lsmod | grep pwc' to load the new pwc anc check it. For those of you interested in Qastrocam image grabber (useful with pwc-supported webcams), I also found a fix for compiling it as well. The kernel-headers /usr/include/linux/ directory was missing 'config.h' and 'linkage.h', and they were not found anywhere else, so I copied those two files from RHEL4 to my FC6, into the /usr/include/linux/ directory. Then compile 'qastrocam' with 'make configure-redhat-mt' followed by 'make'. Mystery should be solved at this point, except why RC6 developers changed the header files comparing RHEL4 and FC6(RHEL5beta).
