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).
