[vlc-devel] V4L2 & ALSA

[Richard Hosking]

Ok, I knew I would answer my own question just after
posting :-)

I have added:-

  VLC_ADD_LDFLAGS([v4l2],[-lasound -lm -ldl])

near the end of the v4l2 section in the configure.ac
file and all seems to be well.

I'm not sure if this should have some additional
checking around it (ie if ALSA support is present).
