xdtv depends on xterm as well

This package requires the linux-headers package to compile, but not to install.

I have also produced a pair of patches so it compiles on a system which is up to date as of 2012-11-02.

First, a patch that fixes the PNG export code so it imports zlib.h for Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION:

http://kode54.net/xdtv-2.4.1cvs15-pngfix.patch.gz

Then a patch to remove videodev.h from the v4l2 configure check and from the v4l2 grabber, since it's not required, and current kernel versions don't even provide it any more.

http://kode54.net/xdtv-2.4.1cvs15-v4lfix.patch.gz

Applying both of those is sufficient to get it compiled now, but I can't get it to work without disabling XV, and even then, it only displays a solid green picture. I'll just stick to using ffmpeg to capture and encode.

Cant configure:
"checking for video4linux... no
checking for video4linux version 2... no
configure: error: *** NO VIDEODEV DRIVER FOUND *** "
the same error even after installing v4l-utils and xf86-video-v4l

could you add right packages to dependencies in pkgbuild?

It would be nice if you would let your package xdtv be renamed to xdtv-cvs and your package xdtv-stable to xdtv. Packages without an extension like -cvs, -git or the like are usually meant for the stable releases, while the unstable development versions usually have the corresponding extensions like -cvs and -git in their names. This way people know which package is stable and which is unstable.
