CANvenient is an abstraction layer for multiple CAN APIs on Windows and
Linux. It provides a unified interface for CAN communication, allowing
developers to write code that is portable across different platforms and
CAN hardware.

+Subject: [PATCH] Fix build with musl
+
+This was exposed while integrating the package into Buildroot and
+testing its compilation with a musl-based toolchain:
+
+  CANvenient_SocketCAN.c: In function 'socketcan_open':
+  CANvenient_SocketCAN.c:186:24: error: storage size of 'tv' isn't known
+    186 |         struct timeval tv;
+        |                        ^~
+  CANvenient_SocketCAN.c: In function 'socketcan_recv':
+  CANvenient_SocketCAN.c:364:36: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'struct timeval'
+    364 |     char ctrlmsg[CMSG_SPACE(sizeof(struct timeval))];
+        |                                    ^~~~~~
+  CANvenient_SocketCAN.c:406:28: error: invalid use of undefined type 'const struct timeval'
+    406 |             *timestamp = tv->tv_sec * 1000000ULL + tv->tv_usec;
+        |                            ^~
+
+Include <sys/time.h> to fix the build.
