Update: The package pvcam-dkms (4.1.0-2) will not compile to linux kernels above 3.8, due to changes in the kernel module interfacing.
In order to make it work under 3.11 and 3.11, a trivial change is needed in the file pvpci.c. namely, the attributes __devinit, __devexit and __devexit_p have to be removed from the definitions of: static int pvcam_probe static void pvcam_remove static struct pci_driver pvcam_driver With this, I managed to use dkms to build a kernel module that works under Linux Mint 17 32-bit (3.13) and Ubuntu 12.04LTS (3.11) 32-bit. I am discussing packaging options with the original maintainer. Before that, I may also try the 64-bit version to see whether the kernel module may actually compile, and the associated ancient 32-bit roper pvcam library may (through some struck of luck) still work. Since building drivers makes sense only if there is a popular application which works with arcane hardware, I will check if MicroManager (www.micro-manager.org) can perhaps run the camera. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1156203 Title: pvcam-dkms 4.1.0-2: pvcam kernel module failed to build To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pvcam-dkms/+bug/1156203/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
