I did initially subscribe to that list, but after a few days I unsubscribed again, because there was way too much non DVB related stuff there. As for VDR, I'll probably just add a note to the INSTALL file, saying that the DVB driver header files are broken and should be patched or replaced with an older version.

[vdr] only get DVB-related messages from linux-media (was: Re: Compilation issues with recent DVB header files vs libc6)

I conclude your current situation is, that right now you do not get any dvd-related messages, since you are not subscribed. I propose, that you subscribe, and do one of the following. • Either configure your list options to not receive any messages. That way you can send messages to report bugs and maybe ask to CC you. • Or set up a filter in your mail program to delete all messages from this list except they have [DVB] or so in the subject line and make sure the subject of your messages contains this word.

As I digged a little bit deeper, I saw, that the root of all evil is a clash between glibc's stdint.h and linux/types.h (the latter defines some POSIX types defined in stdint.h as well, which wasn't the case for asm/types.h). I'm not sure yet, if this is a glibc or a kernel issue, but I'll file a bug report as soon as I know. As for the problem Reinhard Nissl reported for the missing 'uint16_t' in linux/dvb/audio.h - I can't reproduce this problem. Not with 2.6.29 and not with the latest driver from http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb. Tobias ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

The kernel headers should be fixed to use strict types (patches available).

See my earlier reply on the issue: > http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2009-March/019783.html You're right. Thanks for the pointer! I've seen this weeks ago and thought it would have already made it into 2.6.29. I've applied the patch from Arnd Bergmann's core/header-fixes branch to 2.6.29.1 which seems to work fine. Let's hope this gets fixed in 2.6.29.x or 2.6.30. Tobias ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
