>Description:
Building the already named port failed. And so failed building of GNOME.

The building process stopped when the library v4l2_pwplugin.so had to be built.

The same problem  happened to at least two other users as the following thread shows,

>How-To-Repeat:
Launch the build process again with make
>Fix:
In my opinion this problem occurs because the definition of '__u32' does not appear in the file /usr/local/include/linux/videodev2.h anymore and vidinput_v4l2.cxx still needs it (in 2 occasions).

A fix probably would be to change the references to '__u32' in a proper and suitable way in the file vidinput_v4l2.cxx.
