I use debian (testing release) and after installing "apt-get install libcap-bin libcap-dev libcap1" packages vdr (1.3.38) compiling fine.
# aptitude install libcap-dev
is sufficient; the others are automatically installed and will be marked as such if you don't explicitly specify them, they're not already installed and you use aptitude.
But when i try to start it "source/vdr/vdr-1.3.38# ./vdr -c /etc/vdr -L /usr/local/lib/vdr/ -w 60 -E /var/cache/vdr/ -Pdxr3" I get error "vdr: cap_set_proc failed: Operation not permitted"
Even command "./vdr --help" gives that "vdr: cap_set_proc failed: Operation not permitted" error.
Works for me, but then I'm not making use of capabilities and I'm not starting it as root.
