This doesn't work - a work in progress
The Source Code
Process
- Assumes Compiling QuickCam Drivers
- Untar in
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.15/linux-2.6.15.i586/drivers/usb/media
- Edit Kconfig by adding the following at the end
config USB_QC
tristate "USB Logitech Quickcam"
depends on USB && VIDEO_DEV
---help---
Say Y or M here if you want to use one of these Logitech
webcams:
- Edit Makefile by adding the following at the end
obj-$(CONFIG_USB_QC) += qc-usb-0.6.6/
- Comment out the following lines at line number 3047 to get rid of a syntax error in
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.15/linux-2.6.15.i586/drivers/usb/media/qc-usb-0.6.6/qc-driver.c
//#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,0) \ // && LINUX_VERSION_CODE <= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,15) // owner: THIS_MODULE, //#endif
- Compile from /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.15/linux-2.6.15.i586/
make modules
- install the module /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.15/linux-2.6.15.i586/drivers/usb/media/qc-usb-0.6.6/
insmod quickcam.ko
- Plug in the QuickCam
- Look at /var/log/messages to see what happened
- Create the driver nodes
mknod /dev/video0 c 81 0 chmod a+r /dev/video0 ln -s /dev/video0 /dev/video
- Capture an image
vidcat -s 352x288 -p y -d/dev/video0 > test.ppm
- The above complains and I haven't figured out why
ls: /dev/video*: No such file or directory
- When it works, I will view the image
gthumb test.ppm &
