Erm, 2.5 / 2.6 headers are not officially supported yet because of the horrendous breakage they cause. |
those using 2.5 kernel headers to build a system will see problems like... In file included from /usr/include/linux/videodev2.h:16, from /usr/include/linux/videodev.h:14, from filters.c:15: /usr/include/linux/time.h:9: redefinition of `struct timespec' /usr/include/linux/time.h:15: redefinition of `struct timeval' /usr/include/linux/time.h:181: redefinition of `struct itimerspec' when trying to build an app that requires the videodev.h and videodev2.h kernel headers the problem is due to time.h stuff being defined already by glibc it is mentioned here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-video&m=104884621625451&w=2 i think this is more a glibc problem than kernel but i dont know the policys of ether project well enuf to knwo for sure i think we need a fix in glibc to fix all apps so we dont have to have patchs like the one ill attach for gqcam im not sure if this is just related to glibc-2.3.1 or if its fixed under 2.3.2 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. using 2.5 kernel headers merge any v4l related app
