Update:
The package pvcam-dkms (4.1.0-2) will not compile to linux kernels above
3.8, due to changes in the kernel module interfacing.
In order to make it work under 3.11 and 3.11, a trivial change is needed
in the file pvpci.c.
namely, the attributes __devinit, __devexit and __devexit_p have to be removed
from the definitions of:
static int pvcam_probe
static void pvcam_remove
static struct pci_driver pvcam_driver
With this, I managed to use dkms to build a kernel module that works
under Linux Mint 17 32-bit (3.13) and Ubuntu 12.04LTS (3.11) 32-bit. I
am discussing packaging options with the original maintainer.
Before that, I may also try the 64-bit version to see whether the kernel
module may actually compile, and the associated ancient 32-bit roper
pvcam library may (through some struck of luck) still work.
Since building drivers makes sense only if there is a popular
application which works with arcane hardware, I will check if
MicroManager (www.micro-manager.org) can perhaps run the camera.
