Makefile/Build errors on Raspberry Pi 2

[sjobeek]

Hey there,

When testing this out on my new Raspberry Pi 2, I ran into a couple bumps with the makefile:

1. Had to modify the makefile to match $UNAME to armv7l

ifeq ($(UNAME),armv6l)
---------->
ifeq ($(UNAME),armv7l)

2. to build libreconnect I had to change one variable in one line of gspca.c which seemed to be referencing an undefined variable: (same as issue #14)

V4L2_FL_USE_FH_PRIO
---->
V4L2_FL_USES_V4L2_FH

A google search for the undefined variable turned up the solution which worked: http://sourceforge.net/p/adi-buildroot/bugs/263/

After those changes, I was able to make and load the libraries on my Raspberry Pi 2 and got depth output. Great!

It wasn't clear to me how to "install" the modules permanently in the kernel since make install didn't seem to exist.

Thank you, working fine.

Hey there,

Thanks for finding these solutions. I am able to make now, but my make load is failing. Are these the errors you were talking about? If so, I don't seem to have a /dev/video0 after the make load.

Figured it out... the kinect needed to be plugged in for make load to work.

If you have Linux 3.17 or above, this has already been merged into the mainline kernel (https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/c87c0f079cf8c9c346adbedd367ba53ad0afaded); toggle the 'kinect' module's depth_mode flag to toggle between this depth mode and the older video mode.

Oh, look 3.17 is also when V4L2_FL_USE_FH_PRIO was removed. That is: you don't need to build this.

Regarding the low-levels of V4L2_FL_USE_FH_PRIO: In https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/95cd5d5ee67c2108765ae87d34761d54fd6671ce it was removed outright. See the commit message for justification.
