VDR 1.6.0 and 1.7.4 compile fine with 2.6.29 and GCC 4.3 on x86_64. It works also with the latest drivers from Igors repository.

My 2ct: - An application should not need to use -D__KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES. - Any header file that requires other header files to be included should do so by itself. - The sequence in which header files are included should not matter. I normally list them alphabetically, to easily find a particular one. I currently solve the broken DVB driver header files by replacing them with the ones from an earlier driver version, where they still worked. I had posted this problem on the linux-dvb ML a while ago, but apparently nobody cared... Klaus ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Hi, is the linux-dvb ML still "alive"? maybe http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-media is read more frequently Regards, Matthias 2009/4/8 Klaus Schmidinger : > On 04/08/09 01:21, Tobi wrote: >> Hi! >> >> Recent DVB driver releases (now in Kernel 2.6.29) cause trouble compiling >> VDR (see snippet A below). >> >> The common solution to this seems to be to add a "-D__KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES". >> >> It felt wrong somehow and I didn't liked this, so I tried another >> solution, which is to have any libc6 includes appear before the >> linux DVB header includes .

Agreed - and since I subbed/unsubbed I've been getting a lot more spam to my dvb address. Can't be sure it's connected, but...

[vdr] ERROR (thread.c,225): Keine Berechtigung
On every start of the vdr I get this error message:
Apr 2 00:33:36 vdr vdr: [2462] ERROR (thread.c,225): Keine Berechtigung
It comes from cThread::SetPriority and seems to be harmless, but annoying.
Is the attached patch the right cure?

The V4L/DVB mailinglist are infact not used any more for patches (and a global statement was made to send those patches to the linux-media mailinglist) and I haven't seen any of the developers being active on it for some time. Full information was made in early January I believe. More information is available on the Linuxtv.org frontpage [1].
