As of version 19.0, CrossOver no longer uses this library. This article left in place for reference only.

Description

This Video4Linux library lets Windows applications access video capture devices such as webcams and TV tuners.

Resolution

As of 19.0 CrossOver uses a newer version of this library. See the [Missing libv4l2.so.0 library](/support/wiki/Diag/MissingLibV4l2) page.

On CrossOver 17 and greater, the simplest solution to fix this issue is to run:

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missinglibv4l1

Or add --show-all to see how CrossOver would fix it on your platform and others.

Alternatively you may try one of the commands below.

• For 32-bit Windows applications
  32-bit Arch Linux : pacman -Syu v4l-utils
  64-bit Arch Linux : pacman -Syu lib32-v4l-utils
  Debian : apt-get install libv4l-0:i386
  32-bit Fedora : yum install libv4l.i686
  64-bit Fedora : yum install libv4l.i686 libv4l.x86_64
  32-bit openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install libv4l
  64-bit openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install libv4l-32bit
  32-bit openSUSE >= 11.3 : zypper install libv4l1-0
  64-bit openSUSE >= 11.3 : zypper install libv4l1-0-32bit
  32-bit openSUSE >= 12.1 : zypper install libv4l
  64-bit openSUSE >= 12.1 : zypper install libv4l-32bit

Notes:

• cxfix --show-all may have more up-to-date fixes.
• The commands usually also apply to newer versions of the distributions above as well as derived distributions. So for instance a fix for Debian 7 may still be valid for the latest Debian Testing and is typically also applicable to Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Deepin and Pop! OS. Similarly a fix for Fedora likely also works on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, etc.
