    Any plans for supporting Ubuntu Trusty 14.04? I've upgraded, but the package won't compile for kernel 3.13. I've tried to compile manually, but it still failed. I probably need to again manually copy the 3.13 kernel headers into the package (using the 3.11 kernel headers didn't work). For now, I've reverted to the 3.11 kernel (saucy packages), which means I can use the saucy dvbhdhomerun package, and I'm successfully using this on 14.04. But, not ideal of course :).

    So after some digging into the kernel header issues, I came across this fork that has everything in the proper place. Compiled and Built proper on 14.04LTS with the 3.13 kernel.

    https://github.com/h0tw1r3/dvbhdhomerun

    I'm sure given time this will be updated as will the PPA but, this is how I got it built.

    Cheers

    Installing it is not that hard:
    1. git clone https://github.com/h0tw1r3/dvbhdhomerun 'dvbhdhomerun-0.0.16+nmu3'
    2. cd 'dvbhdhomerun-0.0.16+nmu3'
    3. dpkg-buildpackage
    4. cd ..
    5. dpkg -i dvbhdhomerun-dkms_0.0.16+nmu3_all.deb dvbhdhomerun-utils_0.0.16+nmu3_*.deb

      I seem to be running into a loop..

      If I try installing libhdhomerun-dev, I get the following output:

      If I attempt to follow the steps Mark showed above:

      dpkg-buildpackage: source package dvbhdhomerun
      dpkg-buildpackage: source version 0.0.16+nmu3
      dpkg-buildpackage: source distribution UNRELEASED

      dpkg-buildpackage: warning: build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting
      dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.)

      As for the utils, I don´t know how to properly install the package either.. Is there any kind of such package that can be downloaded?

      /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: dvbhdhomerun-utils is broken or not fully installed

    Sorry to open an such an old thread, but I have been trying to install this on ubuntu 16.04 with no success. I get this error when trying dpkg-buildpackage from the above instructions:

    /dvbhdhomerun-0.0.16+nmu3/userhdhomerun/hdhomerun_controller.cpp: In constructor ‘HdhomerunController::HdhomerunController(int)’:
    /dvbhdhomerun-0.0.16+nmu3/userhdhomerun/hdhomerun_controller.cpp:74:144: error: ‘hdhomerun_discover_find_devices_custom’ was not declared in this scope
       int numOfDevices = hdhomerun_discover_find_devices_custom(0, HDHOMERUN_DEVICE_TYPE_TUNER, HDHOMERUN_DEVICE_ID_WILDCARD, devices, m_maxDevices);
      CMakeFiles/userhdhomerun.dir/build.make:134: recipe for target 'CMakeFiles/userhdhomerun.dir/hdhomerun_controller.o' failed
    make[4]: *** [CMakeFiles/userhdhomerun.dir/hdhomerun_controller.o] Error 1 
    

    Any suggestions on how to get it installed or other options?
