             Bug #: 32181
           Summary: linux/videodev.h header is deprecated and unavailable
                    on newer kernels
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.16
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: scott at open-vote.org
    Classification: Unclassified


There are places in Wine where linux/videodev.h is included, however this file
is not available on newer systems.  I think it's a deprecated library, but I'm
not sure about what the proper transition is supposed to be.

I think the options are:
 - port to the newer libv4l2 header, ie linux/videodev2.h
 - update includes to build with the older library (ie libv4l-videodev.h)


Some quick googling shows that Wine isn't the only app affected, but that other
projects have made a transition in their source (rather than, say, relying on
distro symlinks).
