Hi, I downloaded the last version (pwc-10.0.6a) from http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/files/ and tried to compile it for SuSE 9.1 but I get errors. I installed the kernel sources, did a "make oldconfig" (is make cloneconfig better ?), had to make a link to a symbols file (don't remember exactly). That's what is output : kllap:/home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a # make make -C /lib/modules/2.6.5-7.151-default/source SUBDIRS=/home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-7.151' CC [M] /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.o /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c: In function `pwc_isoc_cleanup': /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:937: warning: implicit declaration of function `usb_kill_urb' /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c: At top level: /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2081: error: parse error before numeric constant /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2081: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `module_param' /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2081: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2081: warning: data definition has no type or storage class /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2082: error: parse error before "int" /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2082: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `module_param' /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2082: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2082: warning: data definition has no type or storage class /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2083: error: parse error before "int" /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2083: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `module_param' /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2083: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2083: warning: data definition has no type or storage class /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2084: error: parse error before "int" /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2084: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `module_param' /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2084: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2084: warning: data definition has no type or storage class /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2085: error: parse error before "int" /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2085: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `module_param_named' /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2085: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2085: warning: data definition has no type or storage class /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2086: error: parse error before "int" /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2086: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `module_param' /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2086: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2086: warning: data definition has no type or storage class /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2087: error: parse error before "int" /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2087: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `module_param' /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2087: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2087: warning: data definition has no type or storage class /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2089: error: parse error before "int" /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2089: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `module_param_array' /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2089: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2089: warning: data definition has no type or storage class /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2090: error: parse error before numeric constant /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2090: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `module_param_array' /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2090: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2090: warning: data definition has no type or storage class /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2077: warning: `leds_nargs' defined but not used /home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.c:2079: warning: `dev_hint_nargs' defined but not used make[2]: *** [/home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a/pwc-if.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [_module_/home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-7.151' make: *** [default] Error 2 kllap:/home/koenraad/webcam/pwc-10.0.6a # I googled, but didn't find much.

If you are happy with rolling your own kernel. The pwc support was pulled by the owner some months ago, Alan Cox now supports it in his 2.6.x-ac? kernels and it's back in 2.6.12-rc1, the 2.6.12-rc1 has a problem with my CH Products USB Yoke and Pedals, they are seen, but don't work, the other USB stuff, card reader, printer and scanner work, so I backed off to 2.6.11.6.

Hi,
I compiled it on my 9.2, but it should also work on 9.1 : 1) install kernel sources 2) issue the following commands : # cd /usr/src/linux # make clean # make mrproper # make cloneconfig # make prepare-all
now you are ready to build extra modules for your kernel
3) cd to the pwc-10.0.6a directory and issue # make # make install
That's it.

Last weekend I built my first kernel (2.6.10). With that I could compile pwc. I believe you need a kernel more recent than 2.6.5 of Suse9.1. And I just had to plug the webcam in the USB-port, the rest went automagically. Xine did not work (something like 'overlays not supported'), but Motion and Camstream run fine. Thanks anyway. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong R&D Manager ACE electronics n.v.
