[aur-general] gspcav1-fbcondecor package installation errors

I tried adding that line:

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/gspcav1-20071224
  sed -i -e "s/KERNEL_VERSION = .*/KERNEL_VERSION = ${_kernver}/" Makefile
  sed -i "s:asm\/semaphore.h:linux\/semaphore.h" gspca_core.c <----- HERE
  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
}

I still recieved the same installation error messages. Forgive me if I
just put it in the wrong place, but like I said before, I am new to
package workings and installations, so please avoid ambiguity if it is
based on the assumption of my knowledge.

I started poking around in gspca_core.c, and I noticed several
inclusions that look like they should be changed from the asm
directory to the linux directory (I think one actually had a typo as
well), but I do not know how to work around the md5sums validity
checker.
