linux/videodev.h : no such file or directory - OpenCV on ubuntu 11.04

Answer 1

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 

in OpenCV-2.2.0/modules/highgui/src/cap_v4l.cpp and removing || defined (HAVE_CAMV4L2) from line 174 allowed me to compile.
