commented out line 56 (ulong blah) and it compiled.

can't tell you if it worked, though... and that's almost certainly the wrong way to fix it.

Yeah but my problem wasn't related to trying to get extra codecs working. It's an error in some device code in the core ffmpeg. I was getting that error with a vanilla configuration.

So I decided to export an arbitrary revision number (14000), and it worked!

So somewhere between 14000 and 15290 (HEAD as of this writing) something got BORKED. But what can you expect from a project with no stable releases?

WHen I try to compile I get the following error:

In file included from libavdevice/v4l.c:32:
