Driver compilation problems ?

There may be any number of reasons why the driver or tools may fail to compile for you. Below are some suggestions and things to look for. • Make sure you have a version of gcc blessed for compiling the kernel. Versions 2.95 , 3.2 and 3.2.2 seem to work. Problems have been reported with v3.2.1 • Enable V4L2 support in your kernel. For those who would prefer not to recompile their kernels, copy utils/videodev2.h to the drivers/ directory before compiling. It should provide enough of the v4l2 spec to get you going.
