Answer

Quite strange your question :

Why you need to install V4L2 ? it's comes with kernel ... or are you getting GIT version of V4L2 tree ?

Moreover motion include already pwc-ioctl.h ... so no need to provide.

You can build motion without v4l/ v4l2 support : ./configure --without-v4l ; make ; make install

If you are running a netcam you MUST provide netcam_url value in motion.conf ... and last but not least

why are you uing a 3.2.9 ??? that's fucking old ! 3.2.11 is current stable and soon 3.3.0 will be out.
