You're in luck! I just recompiled pvr250 for FreeBSD 10 yesterday so I
can help you. (I have a CX23416-based PCI-card).
First, comment out or delete the line starting "BROKEN" in the port's
Makefile.
Next you will need to source a decoder firmware file called
"hcwPVRP2.sys" (case is important). There should be one of the driver CD
with your card but they are easily enough to obtain on the web. If you
get really stuck on that then email me. This file needs to be placed in
/usr/ports/distfiles/
Start building the port with:
make -DNO_CHECKSUM
It will probably fail on a line in cxm.c like this:
/usr/ports/multimedia/pvr250/work/modules/cxm/cxm/../../../dev/cxm/cxm.c:1397:3:
error: implicit declaration of function 'psignal' is invalid in C99
[-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
psignal (sc->enc_proc, sc->enc_signal);
Change line 1397 of said file so it reads:
kern_psignal (sc->enc_proc, sc->enc_signal);
Continue build with another:
make -DNO_CHECKSUM
Port should build successfully. Follow with usual "make install". To use
the port you need to load the cxm driver with "kldload cxm" and use
"pvr250-setchannel" to select input, etc. After that I mostly only do
"cat /dev/cxm0 > something.mpg"
Hope this helps,
Dominic
