Can I build ov51x-jpeg-source against kernel-2.6.27 ?

Asked by David Hugh-Jones

I have a Creative Webcam (ID 041e:4068) and need the ov51x-jpeg-source to make it work. Using module-assistant I can successfluly build it against the 2.6.24 kernel, but building against 2.6.27 fails as follows:

Has anyone successfully built this against a new kernel?

Cheers
David
