Hi, |
2 |
I don't remember why I started looking at avifile this night, but while I was |
3 |
at it, I found something which uncovers a bit of troubles with v4l useflag. |
4 |
|
5 |
Summarizing: |
6 |
|
7 |
v4l useflag enables Video4Linux support (usually webcams and tv cards) on many |
8 |
multimedia softwares (like avifile, but not only). |
9 |
As v4l is related to kernel, it needs kernel's headers to be used by software |
10 |
(usually linux/videodev.h file). |
11 |
V4L is not avaiable on non-linux systems. |
12 |
|
13 |
Now, I was trying to add dependency on headers if v4l was used, but adding a |
14 |
simple v4l? ( sys-kernel/linux-headers ) doesn't work as mips uses |
15 |
mips-headers. |
16 |
I'm not sure to use virtual/os-headers as it targets also non-linux headers. |
17 |
|
18 |
But then joem and geoman pointed out that v4l should only be used on linux, so |
19 |
it should be usemasked on other arches. |
20 |
|
21 |
Now what? I'm going to ask here what to do with this. I think the right way |
22 |
should be adding v4l to base/use.mask and then -v4l on |
23 |
default-linux/use.mask, as it's strictly-linux thing. |
