I been looking around the code since for some reason this new advanced thread waiting doesn't exist in my kernel (2.4 ish?)
Here is a chunk of 'diff ivtv37b/driver/ivtv-kthreads.c /root/stableivtv/driver/ivtv-kthreads.c' < #include <linux/wait.h> 149d147 < DEFINE_WAIT(wait); 156,158c154 < prepare_to_wait(&kthread->queue, &wait, TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE); < schedule_timeout(HZ); < finish_wait(&kthread->queue, &wait); --- > interruptible_sleep_on_timeout(&kthread->queue, HZ); Could I replace this new stuff with that single line from old code without problems? Would someone please at least reply telling me if this new driver even has a chance to work in knoppmyth r4v5's kernel? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brent Kilgore Sent: Wednesday, August 03, 2005 11:46 AM To: ivtv-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [ivtv-devel] 0.3.7 series of drivers Is this driver still kernel 2.4 compatible? The only hits I've found when searching about these errors point to incompatible kernel. I am getting symbol not found errors: depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.25-chw/kernel/drivers/media/video/ivtv.o depmod: finish_wait depmod: prepare_to_wait depmod: DEFINE_WAIT depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.25-chw/kernel/drivers/media/video/msp3400.o depmod: finish_wait depmod: prepare_to_wait depmod: DEFINE_WAIT It compiles just fine. I found the wait.h header file several places in my linux installation. /usr/include/linux/wait.h : This one appears to define the missing symbols and appears to be the one used when compiling. /usr/include/sys/wait.h : This one does not. /usr/include/wait.h : this one only contains #include <sys/wait.h> so what's my problem and how should I go about trying to fix it?
