In the last couple of weeks, kopete has lost capacity to compile with v4l support. The selection of either of v4l or v4l2 use flags causes the build to fail. Selection of other flags appears to lead to an effective build. A week or two ago before an update, kopete did compile with v4kl selected use flags. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set use flags 4vl and or v4l2 for kopete. 2. emerge 3. emerge fails at various points depending on other use flags selected. Actual Results: If these flags are deselected, kopete will build. If flags are selected, the build consistently seeks a missing header file. fatal error: linux/videodev.h: No such file or directory. Selecting and deselecting other unrelated flags leads to an effective build Expected Results: an effective build According to another gentoo dev, this header file has been explicitly withdrawn from the portage tree. No package including linux headers include it. This I suspect would be replaced at some point, but seemingly leaves a gap for kopete and possibly other video related packages I have not tried.
seems This bug is a duplicate of bug 344916
oups sorry, i mean of bug 360471

The othere thread said the thing does exist. I take it the build seeks in the kernel-headers which is now 2.6.38 and cannot build from a kernel's 2.6.37 headers. Is there a videodev2.h or not?

This bug has been fixed already. see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=269296.
Indeed. Fixed in 4.6.2, and V4L-1 interface is gone for good.
(In reply to comment #5) > Indeed. Fixed in 4.6.2, and V4L-1 interface is gone for good. ok; once again, V4L-1 interface is gone, so is there a way to include v4l support in kopete 4.6.1? Or is this gap enforced until the release of 4.6.2?
