Hi,

I wonder how to compile ptlib with libv4l library support. My first thought 
was to configure with --disable-plugins, but this resulted in following 
compile error:

/usr/src/packages/BUILD/ptlib-2.6.1/lib_linux_x86_64/obj2/sockets.o:/usr/src/packages/BUILD/ptlib-2.6.1/include/ptlib/object.h:1037: 
multiple definition of `creationMutex'
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/ptlib-2.6.1/lib_linux_x86_64/obj2/vidinput_v4l.o:/usr/src/packages/BUILD/ptlib-2.6.1/src/../plugins/vidinput_v4l/vidinput_v4l.cxx:670: 
first defined here

Another strange thing is that the v4l2 plugin isn't created with ptlib 2.6.1 
any more. This worked with 2.4.4, though...

Any help is highly appreciated! I really want to get my Webcam (Logitech 
Quickcam Express, usb id 046d:092f) to work again with kernel 2.6.27.

best regards

Gerhard
