Yes, libv4l's libv4l1compat was extended recently to no longer rely on the in kernel compat at all. > * libv4l's libv4l1compat itself also fails to build due to a missing > <linux/videodev.h>.

That header should be integrated into the libv4l1 header, this is on my to do list. > * It's quite embarassing to have libv4l be one of the packages failing to > build due to a kernel v4l change. Why wasn't this change coordinated with > libv4l? It was (I'm the libv4l author / maintainer and knew this was coming for months) yet when it actually happened it still managed to catch me by surprise :) I plan to have a fixed libv4l package out soon. All apps which break because of this should already be using libv4l1 (purely relying on kernel v4l1 compat has not been a good idea for ages), so they should already be including libv4l1.h in all the right places, all that should be needed once libv4l is fixed is no longer also including <linux/videodev.h>.
