Can not be installed on Ubuntu Bionic

[pierre-quelin]

Hello Pierre,

I hope that you don't mind that I am contacting you by using this email I found on launchpad. I would have filed a bug/question on github, if that option was available.

Here is my problem:

I downloaded your fork of dvbhdhomerun from your github https://github.com/pierre-quelin/dvbhdhomerun/blob/master/etc/dvbhdhomerun and was able to build the debian packages on my ubuntu bionic system running currently the following kernel:

$ uname -a 
Linux UbuntuDesktop 4.15.0-48-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 3 08:28:49
UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I am able to install the dvbhdhomerun-source and dvbhdhomerun-utils packages; but I get an error when trying to install the dvbhdhomerun-dkms package:

$ sudo gdebi

Source for the dvbhdhomerun kernel driver.
 This package provides the source code for the dvbhdhomerun kernel
modules, to be build with dkms. The dvbhdhomerun-utils package is
required in order to make use of these modules. Linux headers do no
provide the necessary includes to compile so curl is used to download
them at build time. Do you want to install the software package? [y/N]:y

Consult /var/lib/dkms/dvbhdhomerun/0.0.16+nmu4ubuntu1~bionic/build/make.log
for more information.

The make.log file, that you can find attached to this email, says that it does not find the dvbdev.h file; but I can see the file under: /var/lib/dkms/dvbhdhomerun/0.0.16+nmu4ubuntu1~bionic/build/headers/4.15/dvbdev.h

Unfortunately, I don't know how to tell the compiler the location of the file. Could you please tell me how I can fix it; or even better, could you add a commit to your github allowing the kernel module to also compile on Ubuntu?

Many thanks in advance for any help.

A temporary solution.

1) Edit the kernel source files and change the include files like this in all files

#include <media/dvbdev.h>

• dvb_hdhomerun_control.c
• dvb_hdhomerun_data.h
• dvb_hdhomerun_data.c
• dvb_hdhomerun_fe.c
• dvb_hdhomerun_init.c

2) Next install the kernel source package sudo apt-get install linux-source

3) extract the missing includes tar -xvjf /usr/src/linux-source-4.15.0.tar.bz2 --wildcards 'linux-source-4.15.0/drivers/media/dvb-core/*.h'

4) copy them in the kernel include path sudo mv linux-source-4.15.0/drivers/media/dvb-core/* /usr/src/linux-headers-4.15.0-48-generic/include/media/

5) Change the kernel Makefile all: headers dvb_hdhomerun become all: dvb_hdhomerun

6) Build the packages dpkg-buildpackage -b

7) install

sudo dpkg -i dvbhdhomerun-source_0.0.16+nmu4_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i dvbhdhomerun-dkms_0.0.16+nmu4_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i dvbhdhomerun-utils_0.0.16+nmu4_amd64.deb

8) Configure nano /etc/dvbhdhomerun

Hi, in order to build the modules in Ubuntu 18.04.03 server you have to fix also some other *.c file changing includes, for example, from:

#include "dvb_demux.h"
#include "dvb_frontend.h"
#include "dvb_net.h"
#include "dvbdev.h"
#include "dmxdev.h"

to:

#include <media/dvb_demux.h>
#include <media/dvb_frontend.h>
#include <media/dvb_net.h>
#include <media/dvbdev.h>
#include <media/dmxdev.h>

Hello, For information I'm trying to build for recent kernel (Debian 11) and I think Ubuntu will work well too. I add CI to the branch and Artifact can now be downloaded from github. All comments are welcome ;-) Thank you
