videodev.h removed from 2.6.38 kernel

[nucleo]

There are #include <linux/videodev.h>in QuteCom libs:

libs/webcam/include/webcam/V4LWebcamDriver.h
libs/pixertool/src/v4l/v4l-pixertool.c

videodev.h removed from 2.6.38 kernel, so qutecom build will be failed with this kernel.

Attached the patch needed to compile 2.2 on the latest ubuntu (natty).

PS: I did not check if it break compilation with older kernel, but I think it does not, as long as you have libv4l-dev installed.

I also came across this issue and documented it in HowToBuildFromSource#NotesforUbuntuNatty - I did things slightly differently, though, including libv4l1.h rather than libv4l1-videodev.h and defining a couple of macros. That said, I think this was just enough to get it compiled, and my webcaml still isn't working, so maybe I need this patch too.

It appears that this bug manifests differently on the trunk and on the 2.3 branch.

Ludovico, do you think we should make a final release off the 2.3 branch for the round of distributions coming out this Spring (Natty, Fedora 15, etc)?

Yes, for the 2.2 branch you need to patch also phapi files...

I am replying on the mailing list to you email, about this

[dneary]

This has been patched for 2.2.1, by Ludovico.

Thanks!
Dave.
