please help ..The New DDE_USB is giving compilation errors...

[tapas kundu]

Hi,
Thanks for your help. Usb mouse is working now!! ..  I have gone
throush USB CAM folder. Could you please tell me which file contains
usb driver for your CPIA webcam. I have seen 1 folder named "contrib"
under usbcam directory. I think that it  contains lots of linux usb
webcam drivers under directory
"l4/pkg/usb/examples/usbcam/contrib/linux/drivers/media/video" .

I didn't understand make files in every directory. Could you please
explain compilation procedure without using make files. What is the
use of contrib directory under usbcam folder? Please let us know which
files are responisble for usb webcam device driver function.

I am a beginner . Please help me.

Thanks
Tapas
