Hello, I'm the Debian Maintainer of v4l-utils and upstream contributor to v4l-utils. Some time ago I converted the hand crafted Makefile base build system to autotools which helped portability (iconv, argp, dl) a lot. I looked at the patches against the libv4l/v4l-utils port and changed the v4l-utils development version accordingly. One remaining issue was the dependency of (k)FreeBSD on processed v4l/dvb headers. The v4l_compat port gets synced from time to time but is always behind the latest version. This makes it impossible to even cnmpile test v4l-utils on the BSDs. So I looked at the diffs between the original V4L headers and the one in v4l_compat and came up with some sed rules and a quilt patch series. You can find the bsdify.sh script here: http://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/tree/HEAD:/contrib/freebsd I also wired the sed and quilt rules into the sync-with-kernel target so the processed files become a part of v4l-utils. So they'll always be on par with the Linux ones. Unfortunately I won't find time to test v4l-utils with webcamd during the next month. Maybe someone from the FreeBSD multimedia team could step in? Note: currently you still need these two patches to compile on (k)FreeBSD: > http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/libv4l.git;a=tree;f=debian/patches;h=90c8fa7f37eecc508db4b0151e35d5e736474b67;hb=refs/heads/debian-0.9.x I'd love to release v4l-utils 0.10 with proper (k)FreeBSD support. Thanks, Gregor
