Can I install and/or use libdc1394 v0.x, v1.x and v2.x at the same time on a single machine?

You can install all libdc1394 binaries (IOW .so, .a, .la and friends), system wide, on a single system. This is possible since all libraries have a different name (containing the release version). Moreover, version 0.x and 1.x use libdc1394_control.xx while version 2.x uses libdc1394.xx. You can compile code using libdc1394 v2.x and code using [libdc1394 v0.x OR libdc1394 v1.x]. The version 2.x has different filenames for the include files ($PATH/include/dc1394/xxx.h) than the version 1.x or 0.x (which use the same $PATH/include/libdc1394/dc1394_xxxx.h). Since the include files are different they will not be overwritten when you install another version of the library. You cannot compile code that uses libdc1394 v1.x at the same time as you compile code using libdc1394 v0.x (and conversely). Both versions of the library share the same names for the include files, hence the impossibility. This should not be a problem since v1.x is the continuation of v0.x and both are thus almost 100% co
