[mythtv-users] make error

[Harry Lipkind]

Hi

Going back many years I have written software, built software systems,
etc.  All my work was in Fortran with some custom assembly language
modules where I needed capabilities that Fortran didn't have.  I don't
know "C" or "C++".

I am trying to build the ivtv module for 2.6.16.  I pulled in the
compressed module, unpacked it, and read the instructions.  When I try
to run 'make' the system complains about errors on two lines which I
beleive are 490 and 493.  The error text is:

  driver ivti-osd.c  error - expected ) before string constant.

I looked at the text in vi and the parenthteses are balanced on those
lines.  They read as:

MODULE_PARM(ivtv_fb_card_id, "i");
MODULE_PARM(osd_init, "i");

I understand that utilities can loose line count - can someone help me
figure out where the problem is?  

Thank you
