[vlc-devel] [PATCH] Fix for building V4L2 under Gentoo

[Richard Hosking]

Ah thanks!  Despite me running 2.6.22 on Gentoo, I have headers
from 2.6.17 installed which did not have types.h included in
videodev2.h.  Grrr!  I'll now see how I managed to end up with
incorrect headers on this box.

So the problem is with my Gentoo... sorry about that.

Incidentally, compiles fine under Ubuntu 7.04 (kernel 2.6.20)
where I originally developed the file.

Regards,
Richard.
