Re: [gentoo-user] scpa5XX and CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT not listed
Hello sean, The problem of the kernel option was caused by the fact that I was running an older kernel and the option was not included. Upgraded the kernel, and the option is now available, though scpa5xx now fails with other problems. spca5xx doesn't work with newer kernels, it has been superceded by media-video/gspcav1. -- Neil Bothwick Windows Error #56: Operator fell asleep while waiting. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Check eix spca and you'll see they come from the same place. -- Neil Bothwick Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful.

[gentoo-user] scpa5XX and CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT not listed
Trying to emerge spca5xx but during the build process it is stated that CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT needs to be set in the kernel. That is fine, but I do not see this option anywhere in menuconfig. From what I read it should be located under device drivers multimedia devices, but the option is not present. So how does one build spca5xx without such option available? I am trying to build this on amd64, just so you know. Thanks Sean -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
