How do I build and install the gspca webcam driver?
Ask Question. Asked 9 years, 6 months ago. Active 7 years, 10 months ago. Viewed 17k times. I tried to install gspca to run Orite webcam on Ubuntu It lost a lot of headers, here are my instructions but failed.
It would seem none, at the moment. Maybe we should all petition them to include it? We''d have to act fast, before Debian's upcoming freeze occurs "sometime in the middle of ".
In other words, once all the new Rasberry Pi users install Debian for the first time, as it currently stands, they might be disappointed to discover that their floating point hardware functionality just sits there, affectively unusable. All floating point operations think "Multimedia" will instead be done using software-based emulation, incurring a substantial loss in performance. Am I right on this? Failing convincing Debian to officially include support for the Raspberry Pi's hardware floating point in Debian 7, the only other option will be to make an "unofficial" port akin to how there is a "Remix" of Fedora for the Raspberry Pi.
This would necessitate a group of avid Raspberry Pi fans making or getting access to their own build cluster like Seneca College did , and rebuilding all the Debian packages, compiling for the ARMv6 with hardware float support.
Then they would also have to make their own package repositories, security update packages in a timely, consistent manner , website, etc. That might be a lot of work! Any corrections or additions to the above would be most appreciated. In summary: perhaps I''ll just think twice about using some different compile-optimized distro on the Raspberry Pi, after all.
I''m starting to warm up to Puppy, since it's been painstakingly designed specifically to run nicely in MB RAM for a long time now. And it seems the "Debian port to ARM" mailing list is the place to further discuss this. I then managed to get someone with a beta board to run it, and they got numbers that were entirely consistent with my expectations. This led fairly directly to the Gentoo hardfloat thread further down this section of the forum. It also convinced Broadcom to release a hardfloat version of the GPU interface libraries, which are needed for compatibility with a hardfloat distro and which should benefit in terms of performance too.
Inlining gave even more performance, mostly because some of the calculation could be hoisted out of the innermost loop, but that was actually a smaller effect. The raw function-call overhead in the hardfloat case was simply the BX LR instruction to return with. Unfortunately, as of yet, none of them have any Raspberry Pi hardware or remote login access to any.
Hint: Anyone wanting to help them out by allowing them the use of their Raspberry Pi for compiling packages would probably be helpful and appreciated! I trained myself on virtual box with a very basic version on Debian in text mode adding package that i need using apt which is very easy to manipulate for a half beginner. This bug manifests itself by crashing the system when the camera is activated. At the time of writing is the latest version.
Step 2: Become root For administrative task Ubuntu uses the sudo command. This will not work here. We have to change an environment variable see below. If we use sudo this change will be discarded when the execution of the sudo commands ends, i. So, we use this method: Open a terminal window and enter: sudo -s When prompted for your password, enter your user password. The "linux" packages will download the headers of your kernel and the restricted modules from the repositories.
By default Breezy installs gcc But the current kernel is compiled with gcc Kernel modules MUST be compiled with the same compiler version as the kernel itself, so we need the older version.
This information is valid for Breezy and may change in later versions of Ubuntu. Unpack it tar xfvz spca5xx Setting a link back to the source code headers Furthermore the spca5xx Makefile expect a pointer to the kernel source at a specific location.
