From f90c3c0bdd7a3f16eecf1b077f5e031c44ddb605 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Harrison Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2009 09:07:07 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] V4L/DVB (10210): Fix a bug on v4lgrab.c v4lgrab breaks the fputc macro on some systems, because of #defined FILE. Also, I also added comments because it was not at all clear that to get gspca cameras to work with this application you need v4l1compat.
