So I just tried to build the current video4linux (266752) for opensuse Leap 42.3 and it fails.

It starts by issuing a bunch of warnings and finally an error because openSUSE has backported a changed kernel API for get_user_pages that doesn't match its stated kernel version, which v4l uses to try to compile against a variety of kernels.

Does anybody know what that is all about?

Also, would upgrading to Leap 15 solve the problem and let me compile v4l, or would it just leave me even more frustrated?

In Leap 15 the API should (at least until now) match the kernel version. So it should work. Other apps like vmware and virtual box had the same problem and needed to be specially patched for openSUSE 42.3. for example: https://communities.vmware.com/thread/565146 Hendrik -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
