V4L DVB-T on Raspbmc

[beardedwonder]

I've been trying to get a DVB-T stick running on Raspbmc. I managed to get the stick working on Ubuntu.

I have got all the dependencies to clone, build and make, I have also installed headers (3.6.11 headers don't seem to be available).

After running 'sudo make kernel-links', which completed fine. I ran ./build and got the following error:

Code: Select all

Preparing to compile for kernel version 3.6.11
You appear to have loadable modules turned off in your kernel.  You can
not compile the v4l-dvb drivers, as modules, and use them with a kernel
that has modules disabled.

If you want to compile these drivers into your kernel, you should
use 'make kernel-links' to link the source for these drivers into
your kernel tree.  Then configure and compile the kernel.
make[1]: *** [allyesconfig] Error 255
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pi/temp/media_build/v4l'
make: *** [allyesconfig] Error 2
can't select all drivers at ./build line 451.

Does anyone know how I can get passed this error?

yes you need the kernel headers..

cd /usr/src
git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux.git
and an symlink for build..(will get back on that when got clone is done).

im in the process to do the same right now.. dvb_2382u module

deltas take a lot off time =-

i'll get back to you

I have run clone now, what do I have to do next?

[sblaster]

Same on.

The main problem is to find the right headers. I've tried the 3.6.11+ headers, but actually i could not insmod the module...

What should I do ? try to upgrade kernel to 3.6.11+, which will compromise xbmc, or compile 3.6.11 (but i don t have enough space on my SD Card).

I'm still struggling with this and haven't managed to get any further. The new version of Raspbmc might be out tomorrow, will that be of any help here?

[sblaster]

No, but next Openelec seems because in kernel 3.7, there is support for the new Terratec Dongle... We'll see

Yep but still 3.6.11. I've seen some hints that next one will be 3.7.4

Still haven't been able to get this stick to work. Hoping someone will be able to help.

Yes, deltas did, but sadly this is the result:
