Hi akashif!
Are you sure you have kernel header installed?

You can try disclean before make, too.

Code: Select All Code

[root@iptv linux-tbs-drivers]# cd linux-tbs-drivers
[root@iptv linux-tbs-drivers]# make clean
[root@iptv linux-tbs-drivers]# make distclean
[root@iptv linux-tbs-drivers]# ./v4l/tbs-x86.sh
[root@iptv linux-tbs-drivers] #make

Best regards.

To install kernel headers try
# yum install kernel-devel

1) installed the kernel-devel --> installed successfully
2) Followed your instructions
[root@iptv linux-tbs-drivers]# cd linux-tbs-drivers
[root@iptv linux-tbs-drivers]# make clean
[root@iptv linux-tbs-drivers]# make distclean
[root@iptv linux-tbs-drivers]# ./v4l/tbs-x86.sh

Wait... lets me remember...
I have a TBS6925 but I can't remember if I use it with kernel 2.6.32, actually I have kernel 2.6.39, 3.0.1 and 3.2.0...
Can you try a previous version like this: http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document ... 111118.zip ?
I remember there was great changes in kernel versions from 2.6.32 to 3.2..x, the last version of tbs linux driver work of with kernel 3.x, I tried all drivers version, but actually I'm not at home to say you with security... If you can wait 2 or 3 hs, I'll confirme that.

Best regards.

Hi,


i tried that on CentOS5.7
[root@CentOs linux-tbs-drivers_110818]# uname -r
2.6.18-274.18.1.el5PAE

Package kernel-devel-2.6.18-274.18.1.el5.i686 already installed and latest version

it seems like some issue with CentOS, as i tested 5.7 and 6.2, both have 100% same issue while making.

Please don't use a previous version of the kernel.

And I'm sorry, the first kernet that I use to TBS6925 was 2.6.38-2.
Any posibility to update kernel for you?
Or e-mail to support@tbsdtv.com and ask if there are same driver to use with kernel 2.6.32.

Best regards.
