The WINDOW data structure is provided by ncurses library. You may need a different/newer version of libncurses-dev. (imho one of the 'wide character' versions for unicode.)

The solution was quite simple: The suse tutorials on the vdr wiki didn't say which dependencies you needed, like the libn5curses (or something like it) Afterwards I had the same problem with some other plugins, but since they were in the repository I could do a "apt-get build-dep vdr-plugins-burn" and most of the time that would have fixed it.

However, sometimes I needed to sift through the error messages and find the correct packages in synaptic.
