OK, the root cause was a bad commit that removed the pvrusb2 driver's
config description from the build system. All I can say about this (in
the words of Bart Simpson) is that "I didn't do it" :-)
If you want to build the in-kernel driver you're going to have to undo the
damage caused by the bad commit. Edit drivers/media/video/Kconfig and
change this:
| menu "V4L USB devices"
| depends on USB && VIDEO_DEV
|
| source "drivers/media/video/em28xx/Kconfig"
to this:
| menu "V4L USB devices"
| depends on USB && VIDEO_DEV
|
| source "drivers/media/video/pvrusb2/Kconfig"
|
| source "drivers/media/video/em28xx/Kconfig"
If you want to build the standalone pvrusb2 driver against 2.6.19-rc1, you
certainly can but you'll have to make sure that you've configured all the
needed dependencies into the kernel (everything described in the pvrusb2
setup instructructions plus CONFIG_VIDEO_CX2341X which I need to add to
the documentation). Go here:
http://www.isely.net/pvrusb2/setup.html#Prerequisites
search down to the section labeled "Kernel configuration".
Remember this is a -rc1 kernel, which means it's full of mistakes :-)
Tread carefully.
This issue will be fixed in the kernel presumedly for -rc2.
