I recently bought myself a Huappage PVR350, as I had been playing

with

MythTV

at work, and it was one of the ones that is supported (by report!) on FreeBSD, ,however when I try to compile the port, it fails here. Can anyone point me in the right direction please!I definitely have the .sys file in

Hmm...

Have u patched the kernel already? make patch-iicbb or so? Maybe that causes that warning?

Did u try pvrxxx already?

-Arne

Arne is correct. these errors are due to an unpatched kernel-tree.

i am not sure if the pvr250 patch will still apply cleanly ( which version of freebsd are you running? )

if it doesn't compile/patch cleanly, please report back with the compiler errors.

Is there a patch I should try get into 7.0 before it gets out?

Can someone please send me a patch for 7.0. I cannot commit to 6 without it going into 7 first. (assuming I can get it through re@)

it would be awesome if the pvr250/pvrxxx ports would not depend on kernel-patching anymore. it is the most common compile problem for these drivers. and people come on to the list asking the same old question over and over again.

the problem with the iicbb-patch of pvr250 is that about a year ago, only a part of iicbb was patched to what the iicbb-patch is about. so when patching these kernel-trees, this particular patch is reversed and the kernel does not compile anymore.

7 definitly seems to be at least partly patched already.. (or something)

Who did that? is there more work needed or is int not needed in 7?

i have attached a patch that should work for Dicky's problems. i hope it applies cleanly to the 7-branch as well ( i don't know ).

@Dicky: fetch a fresh kernel-tree, and then:

#cd /usr/ports/multimedia #rm -rf pvrxxx #fetch http://usleepless.110mb.com/pvrxxx_port.tgz #tar xzf pvrxxx_port #cd pvrxxx #make patch-iicbb #make etc....

and recompile and reinstall your kernel.

this port should patch your kernel with the aforementioned patch (with any reverses). it doesn't need any firmware files in distfiles since it loads the firmware from ivtvdriver.org. i should update the pvrxxx-port with this version, i know.

Julian, if you need any help with the attached patch, or it doesn't apply, plz contact me. thanks!
