linux / videodev.h：没有这样的文件或目录Ubuntu 14.04

Question

Hi I run into a problem when setting up my web camera for use in Chrome, which needed FlashCam.

When following the installation guide at: http://www.swift-tools.net/Flashcam/

At the step when doing the "make" build I get:

adderollen@andreas-RC530:~/Downloads/flashcam-1.4.5$ make
(cd vloopback; make);
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/adderollen/Downloads/flashcam-1.4.5/vloopback'
make -C /lib/modules/3.13.0-37-generic/build SUBDIRS=/home/adderollen/Downloads/flashcam-     1.4.5/vloopback modules
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0-37-generic'

linux/videodev.h: No such file or directory
#include <linux/videodev.h>
                        ^
compilation terminated.
make[3]: *** [/home/adderollen/Downloads/flashcam-1.4.5/vloopback/vloopback.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [_module_/home/adderollen/Downloads/flashcam-1.4.5/vloopback] Error 2

make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/adderollen/Downloads/flashcam-1.4.5/vloopback'
make: *** [vloopback/vloopback.ko] Error 2

So I googled some and found this: linux/videodev.h : no such file or directory - OpenCV on ubuntu 11.04

I followed the answer by bukzor, but I still got the same problem. Any one got a solution?

I run Ubuntu 14.04.

Answer 1

Don't you still have such a file on disk? If so, then may be the package which contains such a file was renamed, or may be file was renamed/removed.

Answer 2

find / -name 'videodev.h'

locate videodev.h

using the above commands to check whether you have the file.
