I have a Tesco webcam which used to work fine in 8.10 but which now will not get recognised in 9.04 or 10.04. Hints elsewhere indicated I need gspca, which appears not to be available as an Ubuntu package, so I too downloaded and tried to compile it, but it appears to be badly out of date.
The missing file asm/semaphore.h can be fixed by editing gspca_core.c at line 54 to change asm/semaphore.h to linux/semaphore.h I'm not a C programmer, so I don't know why the implicit declaration of function ‘info’ at line 95 and 'warn' at line 278 of utils/spcausb.h are supposed to be errors, but as line 95 does not contain the string 'info', yet line 278 does contain the function 'warn', I can only conclude that the C libraries have changed somewhat fundamentally recently, and gspca has yet to catch up. It seems odd that a library that supports so many popular and useful cameras should not exist as a package within Ubuntu. Is there some political reason that it is excluded? -- [Karmic] GSPCA module installed but not found https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479533 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
