Hi *,
I tried to build a new fw from trunk, but I'm unable to find the uvc-kernel module when doing a 'make menu-config'. The sources are there (trung/package/linux-uvc), but I cant find it in the selection. My mistake?

bcm947xx (2.6), r11785

TIA,
moh_de

Hi,
doing a search (/n) in the menuconfig-gui is positive:

  ¦ Symbol: PACKAGE_kmod-video-uvc [=n]                                                                                                                   ¦

  ¦ Symbol: DEFAULT_kmod-video-uvc [=n]

But it doesn't seem to be visible anywhere in the gui. hmm

Hmm...

I think selecting 'kmod-video-core' should show some sub-items, including 'kmod-video-uvc' - but nothing happens. No idea why.

menu "Video Support"
    config PACKAGE_kmod-video-core
        tristate "kmod-video-core...................................... Video4Linux support"
        default y if DEFAULT_kmod-video-core
        default m if ALL
        depends PCI_SUPPORT||USB_SUPPORT
        help
         Kernel modules for Video4Linux support
...

    config PACKAGE_kmod-video-uvc
        tristate "kmod-video-uvc............................. USB Video Class (UVC) support"
        default y if DEFAULT_kmod-video-uvc
        default m if ALL
        depends LINUX_2_6
        select PACKAGE_kmod-usb-core
        depends USB_SUPPORT
        depends kmod-video-core
        help
         USB Video Class (UVC) support
         http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/

endmenu

Any hints?

Best Regards,
moh

Still no luck.

Workaround: adding 'CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-video-uvc=y' to trunk/.config manually hmm

$ ./scripts/feeds install mjpg-streamer

menuconfig
   - Kernel modules
        - Video Support
            - kmod-video-core: Y
                - kmod-video-uvc: Y
   - Multimedia
        - mjpg-streamer: Y

kmod-video-core also depends on USB support.
