I'm trying to install AVLD 1.4 on Natty.



I've unpacked the files, but when I compile them with make, it fails:





make -C /lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic-pae/build M=/home/jmendeth/Downloads/avld_0.1.4 modules

make[1]: entering «/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic-pae»

  CC [M]  /home/jmendeth/Downloads/avld_0.1.4/video_device.o

/home/jmendeth/Downloads/avld_0.1.4/video_device.c:23:28: fatal error: linux/videodev.h: No such file or directory

compilation terminated.

make[2]: *** [/home/jmendeth/Downloads/avld_0.1.4/video_device.o] Error 1

make[1]: *** [_module_/home/jmendeth/Downloads/avld_0.1.4] Error 2

make[1]: leaving «/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic-pae»

make: *** [all] Error 2


I have tried to install libv4l-0 and libv4l-dev, but still the same error.

If I replace linux/videodev.h with linux/videodev2.h on the file, a lot of errors pop out.



Any ideas?

AVLD doesn't appear to be maintained anymore.



A similar video loopback package exists in the repositories which you can install - its called v4l2loopback-source.



Auto Install



First from a terminal, drop to a root shell



sudo su


If you havent installed kernel modules before with module-assistant run the following from a terminal



apt-get install module-assistant

m-a prepare

m-a update


Finally - download and install v4l2loopback



m-a a-i v4l2loopback

exit


Manual Install



Download the package - once installed it can be found in /usr/src/v4l2loopback.tar.bz2



Copy the package to, for example your ~/Downloads folder
compile and install



cd ~/Downloads

tar -xvf v4l2loopback.tar.bz2

cd modules/v4l2loopback

make

sudo make install

sudo modprobe v4l2loopback


This will create a /dev/video0 or /dev/video1 (etc) device.
