where util.h is libudev-compat/util.h

I commented out in /usr/include/util.h during compilation?? It worked but is that realy a good solution?

How to solve double declaration?

Hi @suedi,

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Libudev-compat's libudev.h was including util.h from the libudev-compat/ directory, but it should not have been (since it can lead to double declarations if there is another util.h in gcc's include search path). This was removed in b4ecb3ecfbae51b911fe448d9d93f177805f00f5.
