There are errors in the source code that only the authors of the project can solve. I suggest you adress your problem to them.
My question to Phix is: Do you know if there are any errors in the source code.
And for mitsuzero:
I finally got access to
ivtv and could download ivtv-utils-1.4.0.tar.gz
In the file README.install (added as attachment) I found
CONFIG needed:
1. unpack the tarball
2. cd ivtv
3. make
4. make install (as root)
5. unload any old drivers
6. depmod
7. modprobe ivtv
and I could compile this with the above commands without errors.
The ouput can be seen in attachment ivtv-utils-uitvoer.txt (I can make an English version if necessary)
After this the command
lsmod
gives
Module Size Used by
ivtv 122372 0
This proves that the ivtv kernel module is loaded.
I don't know if it's necessary to do the " Creating device entries".
It's not clear to me what I should to with the Firmware ivtv-firmware.tar.gz according to
here (I can only unpack it)
For the supported hardware have a look
here.
As I don't have the hardware I can not test this any further.
In case you can test this and are successful you will need (I think) to add (as root)
ivtv
to the file
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
in order to have kernel module loaded after a restart of the computer.
I hope this description will help you any further.

Don't hesitate to ask again.
