Hi,
I have my webcam setup and working and I can see stuff in pwcview. But
skype tells me 'no device found' for video.
How did you get Skype to run? The current port (in FBSD 8) is pointing
to a file no longer provided by Skype and the linux compat stuff was a
bit confusing when I tried to do it by hand.
I've tried various combinations of with/without webcamd and pwcview running,
also as root, _and_ restarting webcamd each time, but no joy.
Any suggestions very gratefully received.
Skype from the ports runs fine in:
$ uname -a
FreeBSD current.Sisis.de 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #5: Sun Jan 10
09:55:14 CET 2010 [email protected]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
$ pkg_info | fgrep skype
skype-2.0.0.72,1 P2P VoIP software
$
including a webCam based on pwc(4) kernel mod;

Well not in my system:
lucifer# uname -a

ATTENTION!
Skype requires at least linux_base-fc6
which is NOT default at this time.
If you don't have that version or above installed,
hit 'control c' now!
Please read /usr/ports/UPDATING 20080318
for update and install instructions.

Intrigued, I tested it "here".
FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE #0: Sat Nov 21 15:48:17 UTC 2009
/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
I already had installed linux-f10 (for flash plugin). Then
- cd /usr/ports/net/skype
- make depends (install dependecies)
I downloaded skype static for GNU/Linux directly from skype website.
Extracted the package in my own folder... Launched skype... it works out
of the box at least for sending/receiving written messages. No sound for
the moment, probably does it need any plugin or configuration or package
? (btw this would be another thread)
A couple of messages "kern.maxfiles" are displayed and also one
remembering a syscall is not implemented
