[aur-general] gspcav1-fbcondecor package installation errors

Wed Jul 8 12:52:52 EDT 2009

Hoy there, gang.

I am trying to install the gspcav1-fbcondecor package so that I can
use my Creative NX web cam, but I am receiving installation errors
that I do not know how to tackle (I am not very knowledgable yet on
packages and installation problems in Linux).

Here is the PKGBUILD file that I am using; I had to edit it because
the maintainer of this package has not yet changed the dependencies to
kernel26-fbcondecor 2.6.30.1-1:

# $Id: PKGBUILD,v 1.3 2008/01/26 15:48:21 tpowa Exp $
# Maintainer: Varun Acharya <varun at archlinux.org>

# This PKGBUILD is based on the PKGBUILD of gspcav1 in ABS.
# The _kernver was changed to make use of gspca1 drivers for
kernel26-fbcondecor.

_kernver=2.6.30-fbcondecor
pkgname=gspcav1-fbcondecor
pkgver=1.00.20
pkgrel=3
pkgdesc="gspcav1 for kernel26-fbcondecor - A kernel module with
support to 260 USB webcams"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/gspcav1-20071224
  sed -i -e "s/KERNEL_VERSION = .*/KERNEL_VERSION = ${_kernver}/" Makefile
  make || return 1

  #Install kernel module
  install -D -m644 gspca.ko
$startdir/pkg/lib/modules/$_kernver/kernel/drivers/media/video/usbvideo/gspca.ko
  sed -i -e "s/KERNEL_VERSION='.*'/KERNEL_VERSION='${_kernver}'/"
$startdir/*.install
}

Here is the gspcav1.install file that I am using; again, I have edited
it for dependencies:

# arg 1:  the new package version
post_install()
{
  KERNEL_VERSION='2.6.30-fbcondecor'
  /sbin/depmod -ae -v $KERNEL_VERSION > /dev/null 2>&1
}

# arg 1:  the new package version
# arg 2:  the old package version
post_upgrade()
{
  KERNEL_VERSION='2.6.30-fbcondecor'
  /sbin/depmod -ae -v $KERNEL_VERSION > /dev/null 2>&1
}

# arg 1:  the old package version
pre_remove() {
  /sbin/rmmod gspca > /dev/null 2>&1
}

# arg 1:  the old package version
post_remove()
{
  KERNEL_VERSION='2.6.30-fbcondecor'
  /sbin/depmod -ae -v $KERNEL_VERSION > /dev/null 2>&1
}

op=$1
shift
$op $*

Here is the log of my attempted installation:
