Thank you for your reply. I guess the bug here is not that I can't build this one program. It's that ioctl information needs to be taken from the right header files. As time goes on this problem will get more and more important. I wonder how vary old 2.2 or 2.1 kernels deal with the outdatad ioctls?
I know that this is a Linus pet peve but the API was cahnge somewhere along the way. Unless I'm wrong with what my problem is as it could be a gcc or libc thing. I don't know how to do furthe testing I have read the source of the app and the bttv driver and I conclude that the apps data is not being correctly unpacked by the driver. Since I can't use all the native headers and get a succsesfull build this would mean that there is something vary wrong with linux-kernel-headers. mike --- Daniel Jacobowitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sat, Jan 24, 2004 at 09:35:17PM -0600, Mike Mestnik wrote: > > Package: linux-kernel-headers > > Version: 2.5.999-test7-bk-15 > > Severity: normal > > > > I'm trying to build nvrec(a v4l2 program).
