That's because your libavdevice/dshow.h is misfortunately named
"dshow.h".  It is attempting to include system's dshow.h by an
#include directive, which is wrong: you should use #include_next
instead (or rename the header).  If system's dshow.h is included,
it includes strmif.h by itself and the missing data type will be
there.
