I have just upgraded with kernel 2-6.27-10 64 bits on Intrepid and again the same (no update !) ov51x-jpeg package does not compile. Here is what I get with command make : $ make make -C /lib/modules/2.6.27-10-generic/build M=/home/dmoyne/.local/share/Trash/files/modules/ov51x-jpeg modules make[1]: entrant dans le répertoire « /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.27-10-generic » CC [M] /home/dmoyne/.local/share/Trash/files/modules/ov51x-jpeg/ov51x-jpeg-core.o /home/dmoyne/.local/share/Trash/files/modules/ov51x-jpeg/ov51x-jpeg-core.c:115:27: error: asm/semaphore.h: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type /home/dmoyne/.local/share/Trash/files/modules/ov51x-jpeg/ov51x-jpeg-core.c:539: erreur: ‘v4l_compat_ioctl32’ undeclared here (not in a function) /home/dmoyne/.local/share/Trash/files/modules/ov51x-jpeg/ov51x-jpeg-core.c: In function ‘ov51x_v4l1_ioctl’: /home/dmoyne/.local/share/Trash/files/modules/ov51x-jpeg/ov51x-jpeg-core.c:6382: erreur: implicit declaration of function ‘video_usercopy’ /home/dmoyne/.local/share/Trash/files/modules/ov51x-jpeg/ov51x-jpeg-core.c: Hors de toute fonction : /home/dmoyne/.local/share/Trash/files/modules/ov51x-jpeg/ov51x-jpeg-core.c:6637: erreur: unknown field ‘owner’ specified in initializer /home/dmoyne/.local/share/Trash/files/modules/ov51x-jpeg/ov51x-jpeg-core.c:6637: attention : initialization from incompatible pointer type /home/dmoyne/.local/share/Trash/files/modules/ov51x-jpeg/ov51x-jpeg-core.c:6639: erreur: unknown field ‘type’ specified in initializer /home/dmoyne/.local/share/Trash/files/modules/ov51x-jpeg/ov51x-jpeg-core.c: In function ‘ov51x_probe’: /home/dmoyne/.local/share/Trash/files/modules/ov51x-jpeg/ov51x-jpeg-core.c:8368: erreur: incompatible types in assignment make[2]: *** [/home/dmoyne/.local/share/Trash/files/modules/ov51x-jpeg/ov51x-jpeg-core.o] Erreur 1 make[1]: *** [_module_/home/dmoyne/.local/share/Trash/files/modules/ov51x-jpeg] Erreur 2 make[1]: quittant le répertoire « /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.27-10-generic » make: *** [all] Erreur 2
All this for me is a major issue because I have not been able as of today to make my Hercules Classic webcam work synaptic ; there may be something available elsewhere with some heme made compilation but this is typically not good as each time yoy upgrade for a new kernel yoy have to reinstall all these extra modules ! People have to understand that communication tools such as skype are very important for users (a a Netscape navigator some yeras ago) and consequently compatibility with webcam hardware has become a real issue !
