I tried two versions of it. The most recent one indeed is not only 
missing the OMX interface, but there also is no source package available 
for its version of raspberry-userland.

Raspberry OS Legacy (based on Debian 10 and a 5.10 kernel) worked almost 
out of the box, and it had /opt/vc and the development tools 
preinstalled.

In the rpihddevice/Makefile I additionally had to replace -lGLESv2 -lEGL 
with -lbrcmGLESv2 -lbrcmEGL. In fact, if -lGLESv2 -lEGL of the wrong 
kind were available, you could end up with no picture or OSD. This was 
actually reported on vdr-portal.de already in 2017. :-o

Maybe using the Broadcom libraries would also have fixed the above issue 
when using Debian and self-built rasberry-userland; I am yet to try 
that.

I have submitted the patches to the author of rpihddevice, hoping to see 
them in the repository soon.
