Correct videodev.h and videodev2.h files?

[Mauri Sahlberg]

Hi,

I am trying to get mpeg4ip to work on Fedora 3 with quickcam-messenger 
and so far have not had any luck. I can get the video source preview in 
mp4live (1.2.11) to show picture from the camera after choosing PAL 
instead of NTSC but capturing the stream causes either the mpeg4ip to 
crash or it just records the voice.

According to the mpeg4ip developer  Fedora distribution does not have 
correct header files: videodev.h and videodev2.h included. And he gave 
me pointers to the bytesex.org to look for them. What I found from the 
bytesex was patches for the kernel. As I have no knowledge what the 
correct header files should be, I assumed that the glibc-kernheaders 
package just contained copies of kernel-header files from the kernel 
distribution and the right way to go would be to patch the kernel, 
install it and copy the videodev.h and videodev2.h from the 
/usr/lib/`uname -r`/build/include/linux to /usr/include/linux. This I 
did and got even more problems, starting from the compilation of the 
mpeg4ip.

Obviously this is not correct way to go with the header files and I 
still need to find the correct ones that are meant to be used with 
compilation of user applications. Where I should look for them?
