I ran into this a few months ago; I think effectv uses the old V4L1 api, which I'm pretty sure has been removed as of 2.6.38 (might be the reason effectv is masked). Upstream would have to port it to V4L2 or you'd have to run an older kernel to use it. Maybe someone else can chime in who can confirm this...

Sure, it should use v4l2, but you could also use libv4l's compability layer... /usr/include/libv4l1-videodev.h /usr/include/libv4l1.h /usr/lib/libv4l1.so Ditto for any package failing to build because of this. Needs minimal porting. Package is no longer in Portage, closing |
