[Gumstix-users] Enabling the PWC drivers on verdex

[Chuck R. <shi...@ro...>]

I'm trying to enable the PWC drivers for USB webcams on my OE verdex,  
r1578. I've read that the drivers are actually already in the kernel,  
just not enabled, and that I can enable them by going to this folder  
(where the kernel .config file is):

~/gumstix/gumstix-oe/tmp/work/gumstix-custom-verdex-angstrom-linux- 
gnueabi/gumstix-kernel-2.6.21-r1/linux-2.6.21

...and then building the menuconfig tool by typing:

$ make ARCH=arm menuconfig

The make command generates about 1000 errors trying to compile things  
and finally aborts.

   HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.o

...etc.

Does 'make' still work correctly in an OE environment? What am I doing  
wrong?
