I've been trying to compile the uvc driver for a Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000 to use it with Skype on DSL.

I set up the 2.4.26 kernel sources in the usual way (which works to compile other drivers) but when I try to " make" the driver I get the following error - does anybody have an idea what the problem might be?

[/usr/src/linux-uvc]# make
Building USB Video Class driver...

After trying a different approach - the deb package linux-uvc - the readme mentions the driver is 2.6.x only...

'Good of the uvc project page to mention that small detail.
