Hi,

im using Ubuntu 11.04 and just compiled GEM from sources. The old firewire
stack was completely removed from this version of the system ()
however i see in a mail from June 2010 that:

> plugin)

How can i use this plugin ? With my firewire device connected i cant seem
to make it work, no combination of [driver dv( [device /dev/fw1( [driver
dv4l( etc .. doesnt work ..

Also the compilation was a bit of a pain:
- had to remove Pixes/videoV4L.h include from pix_video.cpp
- had to move Pixes/videoV4L.cpp away from the Pixes directory
- had to edit Pixes/videoV4L2.h adding include <sys/types.h> and include
<sys/stat.h> (found that somewhere on the net as a solution for some
compilation for maverick)

Maybe i should report these somehow differently ? Anyway im really
interested in making my dv device work as fast as possible - how can i use
it ? This will be helpfull also for the other people who will switch to
Natty soon ..

thanks a lot,

gnd/
