I have found that qc-usb-0.6.6 wil not compile on linux kernels 2.6.24 and 2.6.26. Using google I found the two needed patched in the Debian package qc-usb 0.6.6-6.
The package contained two patches one fixes compile problems for the
2.6.24 kernel. The other fixes compile problems for the 2.6.26.
Both were developed by Debian developers. To use copy paste into a blank file and save at a patch file. Use the follwing command to patch:
#patch -Np1 -i name/of/file.patch
To compile qc-usb-0.6.6 on a 2.6.24 kernel the 2.6.24 patch must be
installed.
To compile qc-usb-0.6.6 on a 2.6.26 kernel both patches must be installed.
Cheers,
Joe
Patch One (patch for 2.6.24): Start copy below this line.
Start of Patch two (patch for 2.6.26): Start copy below this line
From kernel 2.6.26rc2, SetPageReserved and ClearPageReserved changed from
macros to inline functions, that are generated using macros (among which
SETPAGEFLAG).
The functions were redefined because they don't exist as macros, and then
preventing compilation.
This patch allows to compile the quickcam/qce-ga/qc-usb module on kernels
2.6.26rc2 and later.
An other fix could use #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,26).
