[ivtv-devel] Trouble installing IVTV on Debian testing

[Tim Cluff]

I just got my PVR-500, so I am trying to install Debian, MythTV, and ivtv on a spare computer. I installed Debian Sarge, and then did a dist-upgrade to testing and installed the 2.6.8.11-1-686 kernel; to my great pleasure it was all uneventful. I then installed MythTV from debian packages (from http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu/~mdz/debian). I had some difficulting convincing apt-get to download all the dependencies, but eventually I succeeded and installed the packages. Then I moved on to ivtv. I downloaded .3.7k, went into the driver directory, and ran make. I got this:

make CONFIG_VIDEO_IVTV=m -C /lib/modules/2.6.11-1-686/build M=/usr/src/modules/ivtv0.3 modules
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.11-1-686

/build: No such file or directory
make: *** [all] Error 2

I tried changing the directory it points to, removing build or replacing it with kernel, and I tried making a directory called build, and they all resulted in this error:

make[1]: No rule to make target 'modules'.   Stop.

Since I couldn't find anything about this error, I tried installing the debian packages as explained in the wiki. After figuring out the new names for the sources.list and packages to install, it appeared to work fine. However, "modprobe ivtv" returned "FATAL: Module ivtv not found", and looking in /lib/modules/2.6.8.11-1-686/kernel/drivers/media/video I saw that ivtv.ko hadn't been added.

I'd appreciate any help resolving this, and I'm sorry if this was the wrong place to send this.
