Pi2, dvbhdhomerun - how do I get it running?

Help and Support

Hi,

I am looking to use the OSMC, TV-Headend with HDHomeRun (Silicondust). It was working beautifully with Raspbmc on the Raspberry Pi - but now I have a new Raspberry Pi 2 :slight_smile:

I have done the following:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rbp-tvheadend-app-osmc
sudo apt-get install hdhomerun-config
sudo apt-get install libhdhomerun-dev
sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get install cmake g++
sudo apt-get install build-essential
git clone GitHub - h0tw1r3/dvbhdhomerun: hdhomerun dvb driver for linux with working debian packaging!

Following the instructions on GitHub - h0tw1r3/dvbhdhomerun: hdhomerun dvb driver for linux with working debian packaging! I cd into dvbhdhomerun and run the dpkg-buildpackage - the result:
osmc@osmc:~/dvbhdhomerun$ sudo dpkg-buildpackage -b
dpkg-buildpackage: source package dvbhdhomerun
dpkg-buildpackage: source version 0.0.16+nmu3
dpkg-buildpackage: source distribution UNRELEASED
dpkg-buildpackage: source changed by Jeffrey Clark <>
dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture armhf
dpkg-source --before-build dvbhdhomerun
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: debhelper (>= 7) dkms
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.)

Then adding the -d flag:
osmc@osmc:~/dvbhdhomerun$ sudo dpkg-buildpackage -b -d
dpkg-buildpackage: source package dvbhdhomerun
dpkg-buildpackage: source version 0.0.16+nmu3
dpkg-buildpackage: source distribution UNRELEASED
dpkg-buildpackage: source changed by Jeffrey Clark <>
dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture armhf
dpkg-source --before-build dvbhdhomerun

make: dh_testdir: Command not found
debian/rules:21: recipe for target ‘clean’ failed
make: *** [clean] Error 127
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules clean gave error exit status 2

I have also tried to cd into the directory /home/osmc/dvbhdhomerun/kernel and doing a make as the (/home/osmc/dvbhdhomerun
/)build.txt file describe.
osmc@osmc:~/dvbhdhomerun/kernel$ sudo make

Makefile:27: recipe for target ‘dvb_hdhomerun’ failed

A ls of the lib-dir:
osmc@osmc:~/dvbhdhomerun$ ls -als /lib/modules/3.18.5-v7+/build
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Jan 1 1970 /lib/modules/3.18.5-v7+/build → /home/dc4/projects/linux7

Anyone got an idea, what I am doing wrong?

I am having the same problem - make always ends up with "recipe for target ‘dvb_hedomerun’ failed. I am desperately trying to get my HDHomerun Extend to show up in TVHeadend, and so far it has been a DEADend.

Any help? I am running OSMC on a RPi2, if that matters.
