[pvrusb2] problems compiling the latest snapshot

[Aljaž Prusnik]

Hi!

I have a hunch what could be wrong with the missing files at compilation
of the driver (I did locate dvb_frontend.h command on a laptop which has
current debian testing but a stock kernel and guess what - no file
showed up! Made me think I shouldn't compile dvb core stack as a module.
A new custom 2.6.30 kernel compilation is in the runnings to check
that.) 
--after compilation:
No, it didn't work. The files are still "missing". I cannot figure out
how to tell Debian, that the sources are there (I checked multiple times
and they're there). Do I have to tell make anything else to find those
files?

Apart from that I did play with the HVR-1900 device on a different host
hardware. It's a laptop (HP nc4010) with current Debian testing on it. I
compiled the latest snapshot of the driver and tried scanning DVB
channels with Kaffeine. Guess what - the same I2C error as reported
originally:

[ 4391.627459] DVB: registering frontend 0 (NXP TDA10048HN DVB-T)...
[ 4391.671809] tda829x 1-0042: type set to tda8295
[ 4391.725905] tda18271 1-0060: attaching existing instance

Starting Kaffeine:

[ 4401.721213] tda10048_firmware_upload: waiting for firmware upload
(dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw)...

Channel scanning - just the first sequence of repeating messages:

[ 4415.908670] tda18271_read_regs: ERROR: i2c_transfer returned: -5
[ 4415.908690] tda18271_ir_cal_init: error -5 on line 786

[ 4415.908711] tda18271_set_params: error -5 on line 912

What I don't understand is, how are these two firmwares for the digital
tuner connected (why is device registered with tda10048 but channel
scanning uses tda18271)?


And from the previous mail you said:

I do not understand - what is different in this config? this make line
is displayed as soon as I say make within the driver folder.
