ov51x-jpeg-source won't compile on karmic

[Jarius]

Hi there,

Unable to compile module ov51x-jpeg-source.

Maybe, because kernel-header file gspca.h has NULL byte size??

Tested on up2date karmic with all updates.

What happend to the header files?

[cucujoidea (cucujoidea)]

Same Problems here, for instance:

ov51x-jpeg-core.c:6434: error: implicit declaration of function ‘info’

by commenting out the PDBUG s and some other debug functionality, and adding some headers, the following problem remains:

rc = video_usercopy(inode, file, cmd, arg, ov51x_v4l1_ioctl_internal);
error: too many arguments to function ‘video_usercopy’

This could be connected to the problem:

The following appears in /var/log/messages, when the module is loaded:

This could be helpful, although my camera still doesnt work:

My camera works with XawTV, my problem turned out to be a skype problem, which was solved this way:

sh -c 'export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 && LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype'
