A310 driver compile in kernel 2.6.27

[Che-Wei Chen]

Pardon me for reposting  the article again@@

I tried to compile the driver which is the latest version
However, I encountered the problem
Here is the message

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.27.7-53.fc9.i686/build SUBDIRS=/root/fpix-0.91.0/driver modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.27.7-53.fc9.i686'

By the way
When I complie before I upgraded my kernel which was version 2.6.25-14.fc9.6386 via yum
It will show the error message 
"The sources for the current kernel have not been found. Aborting."
I cannot get it : (

Any suggestions?

Hello,
Sorry for the delay. I didn't notice that my finepix folder had some mails in it until recently.
There's been some good news on the finepix front. A rewritten finepix driver is now integrated in linux 2.6.28, so it will work out of the box in the future releases of Ubuntu or FC. This means a better support than the current driver.

If your distribution does not have that kernel, you can download the gspca driver at http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jfrancois/gspca/archive/tip.tar.bz2
You will also need libv4l: http://people.atrpms.net/~hdegoede/libv4l-0.5.8.tar.gz

Hope that helps. If you need help setting up the driver or libv4l, feel free to contact me.
Again, sorry for the delay.

Regards,
  Frank.
