### Prepare for Building
TBD
### Building
TBD To compile against the dvb-core of a current kernel compile with KERNEL_DVB_CORE=y:
make KERNEL_DVB_CORE=y install
This will only work with current mainline kernels.
Some features will also not work correctly with the mainline kernel dvb-core:
- some devices will have fewer delivery systems enumerated
if one you need is missing you will have to fix it yourself
- the DTV_INPUT property will not work
- local bugfixes in dvb-core will be missing
- Some device names will be different because they do not exist in the kernel
Also, do not forget to delete old dvb-core modules from e.g. /lib/modules/x.y.z-amd64/updates/ !
