Description:

Today I managed to compile newly written driver for my HVR-900 tuner (userspace version of em28xx which can be found here: http://mcentral.de/wiki/index.php5/Installation_Guide but it should be possible on a typical installation without the need to use additionally prepared kernel sources.

The problem is here:

http://greblus.net/trunk/compilation_error.txt

As I suppose it's caused by the fact that the /usr/src/linux-2.6.24-ARCH/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core directory is empty.

I had to make a link /lib/modules/2.6.24-ARCH/build -> /root/build/linux-2.6.24 and compile the kernel until the modpost command is compiled.

I suppose that this driver could be easily installable on Arch if the missing header files were included.
This task depends upon

The headers were moved to include/media. Fix the driver.
