Comment 1 Mauro Carvalho Chehab 2010-12-06 00:15:41 UTC 
Comment #1 is wrong... sorry for that. Pressed <enter> by mistake.

zbar package suffered lots of upstream changes, including improvements at interlaces 2/5 and some new codes added.

Also, it currently uses an old incomplete implementation for v4l1/v4l2 API.

Instead, the better is to port it to libv4l, and support all webcams. A fix is needed for it to compile on Fedora 14+ (and el6), due to a new "reserved" word at stdio.h: dprintf. A fix for it is at:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3128538&group_id=189236&atid=928517

I did the patches for it, and submitted them to zbar upstream, at:

Update zbar to latest commit upstream

 Add a patch with upstate to hg changelog 617889f8f73
- Don't use glibc reserved dprintk (conflicts with stdio.h)
- Don't use -Werror, as there are some warnings at the building

Convert zbar to use libv4l

This patch removes v4l1 direct support, and replaces v4l2.c function to use libv4l.
