A681B Linux Driver Build Issues
I see that there is finally a Linux driver available on https://www.mygica.com/support/ for my A681B. I downloaded it and extracted it on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 server install.
To prep for compiling this, I did the following:
sudo apt install build-essential linux-source libproc-processtable-perl
The make release command outputs the following, consistent with the (outdated) instruction PDF:
eric@tubuntu:~/media_build_u20.04.1_ker5.4.0_lib$ make release
make -C /home/eric/media_build_u20.04.1_ker5.4.0_lib/v4l release
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/eric/media_build_u20.04.1_ker5.4.0_lib/v4l'
No version yet, using 5.4.0-66-generic
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/eric/media_build_u20.04.1_ker5.4.0_lib/v4l'
After this, I get the following errors when I try to build the driver using make:
eric@tubuntu:~/media_build_u20.04.1_ker5.4.0_lib$ make
make -C /home/eric/media_build_u20.04.1_ker5.4.0_lib/v4l

Preparing to compile for kernel version 5.4.0
***WARNING:*** You do not have the full kernel sources installed.
This does not prevent you from building the v4l-dvb tree if you have the
kernel headers, but the full kernel source may be required in order to use
make menuconfig / xconfig / qconfig.
If you are experiencing problems building the v4l-dvb tree, please try
building against a vanilla kernel before reporting a bug.
Vanilla kernels are available at http://kernel.org.
On most distros, this will compile a newly downloaded kernel:
cp /boot/config-`uname -r` <your kernel dir>/.config
cd <your kernel dir>
make all modules_install install
Please see your distro's web site for instructions to build a new kernel.
WARNING: This is the V4L/DVB backport tree, with experimental drivers
backported to run on legacy kernels from the development tree at:
http://git.linuxtv.org/media-tree.git.
It is generally safe to use it for testing a new driver or
feature, but its usage on production environments is risky.
Don't use it in production. You've been warned.
