Pygame 1.9.1 on Slackware64 14.0

Hi all,

I am trying to build and install pygame 1.9.1 on a Slackware64 14.0 machine. When I type ;

python setup.py build

I get ;

In file included from src/_camera.c:36:0:
src/camera.h:42:32: fatal error: linux/videodev.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

Failure is originating from pygame.camera module trying to build.
Any ideas for a workaround ?

Thanks in advance.

apply these modifications to slackbuilds.org build script

How can I do that automatically, using "diff" command ? What do you exactly mean by apply these modifications ?

you can either:
- see the lines changed above and modify the original files accordingly with a text editor;
- save the text above as a file called my.patch and from the folder of the slackbuild of pygame do a

Code:

patch -p1 -i /path/to/my.patch

the slackbuild I modified is here

Worked like a charm.
Thank you!
