The v4l2 plugin (used for webcam capture) is currently disabled
because of a compilation error (according to a comment in the
Makefile).
The error is a missing "#ifndef __linux__", probably forgotten and
unnoticed as it doesn't affect Linux. This diff fixes it and reenables
v4l2, using the libv4l.
Example of a one-liner to test the plugin with a webcam:
gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src ! videoconvert ! ximagesink
OK?
Off topic, unfortunately this diff is not enough to fix net/dino: now
it finds a valid video device but the screen is black on the other
end.
