github trunk? Official buildroot isn't maintained in github.
Also how about some context?
Fails building what? With which options?
You've gotta be more specific, there are gazillions of possible
combinations in buildroot.

  See the help text of imx-lib:

"It requires a kernel that includes the i.MX specific headers to be built."

  In this particular case it's the old Freescale kernel that still has 
the ancient videodev.h header (it died in v2.6.38). Basically, Freescale 
assumes everybody wants to use Freescale's own stuff.

Arnout,
This is the information I needed. Sounds like I need to find a patched
kernel tarball.

  Try http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx/linux-2.6-imx.git/

  Perhaps I should have added that URL to the help text.

[Buildroot] linux/videodev.h missing

[Richard Cagley]

Sadly, even freescale seems to have dropped videodev.h
http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx/linux-2.6-imx.git/tree/include
/linux

I wish I could figure out who maintains imx-lib so I could figure out
why they're sourcing such old headers.

Which kernel version and imx-lib version are you using?

When I worked with kernel and imx-lib 11.09.01 I patched imx-lib in 
order to avoid this videodev.h include.

I don't remember exactly what I used, it should be something like 
videodev2.h or video2dev.h

[Richard Cagley]

It's a Karo TX53 board. I've tried their kernel, the buildroot one for
buildroot-2013.02 (imx_v6_v7 defconfig), the freescale git that Arnout
pointed out...none seem to have matching headers.

Yes, I can basically copy videodev2.h to videodev.h but that only fixes
one problem. After that it's sort of a wormhole of missing header files.
Note, this is only for imx-lib configured as mx53...mx6 appears to be
fine.

I'm reading up on how to source different package versions with
buildroot...it appears to be using 12.09.01...maybe I'll try to figure
out how to use 11.09.01

How do you configure it as mx53?

I've been using PLATFORM="IMX5"

if you use PLATFORM="IMX53" you will face more errors.

Why do you need imx-lib?

I resolved this issue by sourcing from the freescale git repo for the
kernel and using their u-boot/kernel. Thanks for the pointer Arnout.
http://git.freescale.com/git/
linux-2.6-imx.git and uboot-imx.git were the keys.

[Buildroot] linux/videodev.h missing

[Richard Cagley]

I need imx-lib for the gstreamer fsl plugins. If you know of a different way to get the gstreamer hardware acclerated plugins I'd love to not deal with imx-lib.

Try to use any version, configure it for imx5 and don't care if you have 
any error outside libvpu.

For example, a lot of issues is for libipu

I don't have the buildroot source code yet downloaded, and I have no 
idea how to include a new package, but I can try to help you on that 
one, let's talk offline
