I built the driver this way: 1. install "build-essential" and make sure you have the current linux-headers package installed. 2. get the qc-usb source used by ubuntu from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-intrepid.git;a=snapshot;h=af08ea6e38e756093ada807ed79ca409afd7c174;sf=tgz and extract it on the desktop 3. get the original qc-usb source from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qce-ga/qc-usb-0.6.6.tar.gz?modtime=1162648367&big_mirror=0 and extract only "Makefile" and copy this Makefile over the one from the ubuntu version 4. get http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17739608/quickcam_parent.patch and store it on your desktop 5. get http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17601962/quickcam_type.patch and store it on your desktop 6. open terminal and "cd ~/Desktop/ubuntu-intrepid/" 7. patch -p3 < ../quickcam_parent.patch 8. patch -p3 < ../quickcam_type.patch 9. make quickcam.ko 10. sudo cp quickcam.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/ubuntu/qc-usb/ 11. make sure the old version of the module is not loaded by checking "lsmod | grep quickcam" and then plug in your camera 12. start cheese
The problem you had about something being undefined is because of a change in the kernel, that the qc-usb source in the ubuntu tree got adapted to, but the one on sf.net not. -- hal does not detect Quickcam Express as v4l-device https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196811 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
