[archive removal candidate] compiling the ov511 driver fails

I can confirm this. Compilation with changed "linux/autoconf.h" compiles and runs just fine.

i tried to run:

cd /usr/src/modules/ov511
sudo sed 's_linux/config.h_linux/autoconf.h_' *.c
sudo sed 's_linux/config.h_linux/autoconf.h_' *.h

but, then, module-assistant still gives me an error about there not being a 'config.h'!! and the source files are restored to their original form, with "config.h" instead of "autoconf.h".

what's going on? is this a problem with module-assistant? or should i modify the source files in some other folder?

i tried to run:

cd /usr/src/modules/ov511
sudo sed -i 's_linux/config.h_linux/autoconf.h_' *.c
sudo sed -i 's_linux/config.h_linux/autoconf.h_' *.h

but, then, module-assistant still gives me an error about there not being a 'config.h'!! and the source files are restored to their original form, with "config.h" instead of "autoconf.h".

oh, i just noticed that there's an archive called 'ov511.tar.bz2' at /usr/src. i deleted it then re-ran the module-assistant (after doing the replacements as shown on the post above) and it built correctly

A patch is attached to the message.

Otherwise, you can also run:
for i in `find . -type f`; do sed -i -e 's/<linux\/config.h>/<linux\/autoconf.h>/g' $i; done

from the /usr/src/modules/ov511 directory

Be careful though with "sudo module-assistant auto-install ov511" because it will uncompress ov511.tar.bz2 from /usr/src to /usr/src/modules/ and overwrite ov511/ (patched).

is this package still needed since the ov511 driver seems to be provided in the linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-16-generic package?

It seems there is faulty ov51x-jpeg-source version (1.5.4-1) in Hardy repository. Change log of next version 1.5.5 announces "Fixed compilation with 2.6.24 kernels". Could you please update repo?

Hi,

I'm closing this report as it is about the ov511 driver which
is now included in the mainline kernel, and so this doesn't
need to be fixed on Intrepid.

The package is also no longer present in the repositories.

Thanks,

James
