I am trying to run the sample code from v4l2 API. When I tried to run the sample code, I am facing problem while compiling the program itself. Please check the error, is there something I need to install or flag to pass during the compilation steps?
ubox:~/capVideoFrame$ gcc v4l2grab.c && ./a.out
/tmp/cc0E2uRM.o: In function `xioctl':
v4l2grab.c:(.text+0x2b): undefined reference to `v4l2_ioctl'

#include "/usr/include/libv4l2.h" // I am using ubuntu, so pointing to this location
To successfully compiled you need add flags for it -lv4l1 -lv4l2
gcc v4l2grab.c -lv4l1 -lv4l2
