I couldn't get the latest version to compile either, so finally gave up. I
liked KWinTV as the UI was far superior to xawtv (and I've never managed to
get xawtv to work either). From all appearances, I'd say that developement
has ceased (or at least on hold for a very long time).
For now, I'm using Zapping, a Gnome app that's quite good and under active
developement. The UI has a few glitches, but give it time...
