Hello,

Does anyone know of a pre-bulit package of qc-usb (Quickcam USB drivers) available for Kamikaze linux-2.4-brcm?  The Wiki page about webcams lists one for the same hardware and it installs fine, but it is for the wrong kernel version (2.4.30 instead of 2.4.34). 

Failing that, can anyone give me a clue as to how to compile it from the SVN?  I see that it is in the package directory, but it lists a 2.6 kernel as a dependency.  I tried hacking the Makefile and changing all 2.6->2.4, but this did not seem to work.  Has anyone successfully done this?

Thanks!
Ben

In the package/qc-usb/Makefile at line 42 there is your answer.

DEPENDS:=@LINUX_2_6 ...

But anyway. Who cares about 2.4 Kernels? 2.6 is the future

Thanks for for the suggestion, but that is actually what I meant when I said I had tried changing all instances of 2.6 to 2.4 in the Makefile.  It yields a build error looking like this:

And I completely agree about 2.6, but 2.4 still matters to those of us stuck with Broadcom chipsets for which there is no wireless support from the 2.6-based OpenWRT.  Learned that one the hard way by installing the 2.6-based image first.

OK - I finally figured out how to get this compiled.  Turns out qc-usb wasn't even the package I wanted (it was qc-usb-messenger for the Quickcam Messenger) and I basically had to completely rewrite the existing Makefile.  If anyone is interested I can elaborate and/or send you the compiled module.

Ben

benwei send your Makefile to vanyas@gmail.com please.

Sorry my old diff was a little wrong. Here is a Makefile that worked successfully for me on Kamikaze 7.09 for brcm 2.4. Enjoy!

I just did a make in the openwrt/kamikaze_7.09 directory rather than a make package/qc-usb-prepare, I am not
sure exactly what that does. Make sure to get the patches from the trunk too (in package/qc-usb/patches). I can send you a
.ipk as I have tested it and it works great on my wl500g premium with broadcom.

Misha

Thanks for ipk, but I need qc-usb-messenger driver, not qc-usb express, you can download it here: http://in.solit.us/archives/show/91566
This driver source structure same as original qc-usb driver. Can you compile this driver for me? I have wl500pg too.

I've copilled qc-usb-messenger driver width your e-mail attached Makefile, thanks.

I made a ticket with the Makefile for 2.4 here:
