[gentoo-user] DVB-S2 channel scan tool scan-s2 on gentoo

[Tamer Higazi]

Hi people!

As I am running successfully (recently) my DVB-S2 board on Gentoo Linux,
I need to search for the DVB-S2 channels which only this application
"scan-s2" is able to accomplish.

http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Scan-s2

Has anybody of you compiled this application successfully before ?

I am not getting smart how to compile this application.


For any advise of you guys, I'd be happy to hear from you.



best, Tamer

That application is either deprecated or has only been moved.
The download link points to a page telling you to move elsewhere. (Without a 
search option)

The "backups" there point to code from 2012. (Old)

Searching elsewhere for scan-2s points me to some git repository with a more 
recent version:
https://bitbucket.org/CrazyCat/scan-s2/overview

Compiling that one does seem to work. (I don't have the hardware, so can't 
test)
I do see some compile warnings:
atsc_psip_section.h:57:1: note: offset of packed bit-field ‘reserved2’ has 
changed in GCC 4.4

Which again seems to indicate the code is not actively being maintained.

Have you tried any of the other scan utilities listed on your original page 
which are actively maintained?
