Recent DVB driver releases (now in Kernel 2.6.29) cause trouble compiling VDR (see snippet A below).
The common solution to this seems to be to add a "-D__KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES".
It felt wrong somehow and I didn't liked this, so I tried another solution, which is to have any libc6 <sys/*> includes appear before the linux DVB header includes <linux/*>. Doing this only in dvbdevice.c seems to do the trick for VDR (see snippet B). I works for VDR 1.6.0 as well as VDR 1.7.4.
I used -D__KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES but compilation then failed on the use of __u8 in <linux/frontend.h>. ISTR reading that might only be a problem for 64-bit. I resorted to changing it to unsigned char.
You'd think after some 10 years everyone would have settled on stdint by now. :-/
