[TVHeadend] Issue with cross-compiling 3.9~gitb2d015

[m4tt075]

Hi guys,

Have been trying to cross-compile the latest tvh backend for my Syno NAS with the spksrc package in a Debian i386 VirtualBox. I have adapted the makefiles. The compilation seems to work but breaks after a couple of minutes. Here the output (of a re-compilation actually):

cd spk/tvheadend/ && env make
make[1]: Entering directory /home/walter/spksrc/spk/tvheadend' ===> Processing dependencies of tvheadend make[2]: Entering directory/home/walter/spksrc/cross/busybox'
make[2]: Für das Ziel »default« ist nichts zu tun.
make[2]: Leaving directory /home/walter/spksrc/cross/busybox' make[2]: Entering directory/home/walter/spksrc/cross/tvheadend'
===> Patching for tvheadend

Not sure what the problem is (likely just me sitting in front of the keyboard), but any advice appreciated...

With the later version of tvheadend, it looks like changes have been made to the file src/dvr/dvr_db.c: it is different from what is expected by the patch file iov-max.patch, so the patch can't be applied.

Either the patch is no longer needed, and you can remove it, or, the patch is still needed, but in a different location in the file.
