问题
I tried to install OpenCV2.2 on Ubuntu 11.04. But OpenCV compilation fails stating an error related to linux/videodev.h file. File available in /user/includes/linux is named videodev2.h.
/home/user/OpenCV-2.2.0/modules/highgui/src/cap_v4l.cpp:217:28: fatal error: linux/videodev.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [modules/highgui/CMakeFiles/opencv_highgui.dir/src/cap_v4l.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [modules/highgui/CMakeFiles/opencv_highgui.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
Is there a solution for this ?
thank you.
回答1:
sudo apt-get install libv4l-dev
Editing for RH based systems :
On a Fedora 16 to install pygame 1.9.1 (in a virtualenv):
sudo yum install libv4l-devel
sudo ln -s /usr/include/libv4l1-videodev.h /usr/include/linux/videodev.h
回答2:
The current answer is incomplete. Installing libv4l-dev creates a /usr/include/linux/videodev2.h but doesn't solve the stated problem of not being able to find linux/videodev.h. The library does ship header files for compatibility, but fails to put them where applications will look for them.
sudo apt-get install libv4l-dev
cd /usr/include/linux
sudo ln -s ../libv4l1-videodev.h videodev.h
This provides a linux/videodev.h, and of the right version (1).
回答3:
v4l support has been dropped in recent kernel versions (including the one shipped with Ubuntu 11.04).
EDIT: Your question is connected to a recent message that was sent to the OpenCV users group, which has instructions to compile OpenCV 2.2 in Ubuntu 11.04. Your approach is not ideal.

The patch is here: https://code.ros.org/trac/opencv/attachment/ticket/862/OpenCV-2.2-nov4l1.patch
By adding #ifdef HAVE_CAMV4L around
#include <linux/videodev.h>
in OpenCV-2.2.0/modules/highgui/src/cap_v4l.cpp and removing || defined (HAVE_CAMV4L2) from line 174 allowed me to compile.
回答5:
for CMake remove/disable with_libv4l with_v4l variables if you do not need this lib.
