Opencv 2.4.9 unable to build on Ubuntu 14.04 AMD A6 with Radeon Graphics card

[Krishna Kumar]

I am trying to build OpenCV 2.4.9 on Ubuntu 14.04 AMD A6 with Radeon Graphics card.

I checked out the source from git and I am building using the following command as described in

http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/introduction/desktop_java/java_dev_intro.html#java-dev-intro

My intention is to get the jar file

cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF ..

make -j8

This is resulting in the following error
Linking CXX executable ../../bin/opencv_test_highgui
/usr/bin/ld: ../../lib/libopencv_highgui.a(cap_libv4l.cpp.o): undefined reference to symbol 'v4l2_munmap'
//usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libv4l2.so.0: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [bin/opencv_test_highgui] Error 1
make[1]: *** [modules/highgui/CMakeFiles/opencv_test_highgui.dir/all] Error 2
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Please note libv4l-dev v4l-utils are installed

When I run the cmake command the following gets printed, please note my directory is called opencv2.4.6 but actually I have checked out 2.4.9 using git

Could some one point out why the build is failing and suggest me whether its a bug or a configuration issue.
