v4l2-ioctl.c is compiled into the videodev.ko module. > Since compiling from the new repository was supposed to be relatively easy > and now I'm unable to compile uvcvideo at all, I'm just here to ask does > someone have some hints what I am doing wrong...

I sense some bitterness here ;-) I'll try to help you (please remember I'm quite new to v4l trees as well, so this might require a few iterations). The most usual source of dependency errors when installing v4l from sources is old modules lying around in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/. Could you try to manually move them out of the way ? If I remember well Ubuntu installs in-tree modules in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel and out-of-tree modules in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu, so make sure you look into both locations for v4l modules. You could also try to load the new modules with insmod. You will have to resolve dependencies yourself (i.e. load the modules in the correct order), but you will be able to make sure the new modules are loaded and not some old ones lying around in a corner. This might give you some interesting hints.
