Error during compile and install the V4L/DVB module

Added by Alex Commerce almost 8 years ago

I am trying to use a raspberry Pi3 as a headless backend that will service 2 Kodi front-ends. I also have an HDHomeRun tuner. I have been following the steps here:
http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/39284/how-to-setup-tvheadend-on-raspbian-so-that-i-can-record-tv-shows-streamed-by-hdh

Step 2c is failing while trying to run "make menuconfig" with the following error:
Makefile:137: recipe for target 'apply_patches' failed
make2: * [apply_patches] Error 1
make2: Leaving directory '/home/pi/media_build/linux'
Makefile:358: recipe for target 'Kconfig' failed
make1: [Kconfig] Error 2
make1: Leaving directory '/home/pi/media_build/v4l'
Makefile:26: recipe for target 'menuconfig' failed
make: ** [menuconfig] Error 2

Has anyone encountered this? Any ideas on how to get past this?

hi Alex,

I followed the same URL and has encountered the same problem too. I am using a Jessie on Pi3. Have you resolved the issue ?

Stay away from that write up. It is very out of date.

Tvheadend includes support for HDHomeRun devices (except the Prime) out of the box; the dvbhdhomerun libraries are unnecessary as Tvheadend can directly use libhdhomerun.

Upgrade your installation to a current 4.1 build, and forget that StackExchange page ever existed!

I agree. Again, read my full HOWTO guide found here. It's less than a month old and my appliance has been working perfectly since I posted it.
https://tvheadend.org/boards/4/topics/24778

Part of the reason I wrote the HOWTO is because there was little to no current info out there when I started trying to set it up.
