Hi Iohannes,this is Hans's reply:FC8 is end of life, and never had libv4l, may I suggest upgrading to a newer Fedora?
:-)
So first, do you think it is actually possible?
i really don't know. but usually things are lot easier than one would expect...
On the other hand, I have no problem attempting to compile it, but I am not familiar with the logic behind devel libraries, what would be the source I would need to compile from? I had thought all this time that devel libraries were essentially headers and the like and didn't require compilation....
yes, but there are no devel-packages for fc8, are there? so: libXXX and libXXX-devel packages are built from "sources"your distro might provide these sources as a source-package (e.g. libXXX.rpms) or not; but the original authors might/will provide their sources as well. e.g. you can get libv4l from hans's site, e.g. http://people.atrpms.net/~hdegoede/libv4l-0.5.9.tar.gz
grab this package; untar it; read the README.txt/INSTALL.txt or whatever doc applies);
then do something like % ./configure % make # make installand you should have libv4l installed into /usr/local/, effectively bypassing your package-manager.
you might need to install other packages in order for this to work, but i am not familiar with fc (and even less with fc8). you might be totally out of luck, and it won't build for your distro/version. in this case you might have to upgrade to a newer fc.
but you might as well have luck and it works... fgamsdr IOhannes
