Lets see, it compiles with this hack:

index 6f3ffbe..935f41d 100644

+++ b/isp/v4l2.c
@@ -292,7 +292,7 @@ struct v4l2_device *v4l2_open(const char *devname)

-       capabilities = cap.device_caps ? : cap.capabilities;

        if (capabilities & V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_CAPTURE)
                dev->type = V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_CAPTURE;


I can try to run it, but I guess I'll need kernel with camera support.

pavel@...0:/my/omap3-isp-live$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=isp ./snapshot
media_open: Can't open media device /dev/media0
error: unable to open media device /dev/media0
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I tried again on kernel with camera:

pavel@...0:/my/omap3-isp-live$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=isp ./snapshot
error: unable to locate sensor.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
pavel@...0:/my/omap3-isp-live$

Here's the fix for coredump:

diff --git a/isp/subdev.c b/isp/subdev.c
index 9b36234..c74514e 100644

                return;

Let me investigate some more.

For the record, I pushed my code to
