Hi, as a non-developer I had reported a lack of success in using a
digital photo frame under Debian:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=561972
Hans de Goede had reported success with supporting digital picture
frames with the following USB ID's:
1403:0001
1908:1315
1908:1320
1908:0102
on his web site http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/9183.html and
provided a link to
http://picframe.spritesserver.nl/wiki/index.php/UsingAsPicframe which
provided generic instructions.
I had obtained more recent source (2.4.10.1) from the Sourceforge
repository:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gphoto/
and subscribed to the mailing lists which are also available on
gmane.org, but require registration to post:
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gphoto-user
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gphoto-devel
[Aside, it is not easy to find the web pages for mailing lists on
Sourceforge]
To build on Debian I did the following:
apt-get build-dep libgphoto2
apt-get source libgphoto2
and downloaded libgphoto2 2.4.10.1 source from sourceforge and unpacked it.
I copied the debian directory from the Debian source to the libgphoto2
2.4.10.1 directory and removed some non-compatible patches from
debian/patches, leaving:
10_disable_cache 45_increase_canon_timeout 80_kfreebsd
11_hurd_no_path_max_bsdsource 70_increase_max_entries series
I also installed libgd2-xpm-dev (libgd2-xpm was already installed).
Without libgd2*dev, the source code will build but will not be able to
transfer picture files to and from the frame successfully.
I then built and installed the created packages:
cd libgphoto2-2.4.10.1
debuild -b
cd ..
ls -t *.deb|head -2|xargs dpkg -i
and also ran:
libgphoto2-2.4.10.1/packaging/generic# ./print-camera-list udev-rules
version 136 > /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libgphoto2.rules
Then as a user I could run:
gphoto2 --shell
and move picture files from the photo frame. I have yet to resize and
convert to PNG format images to upload to the frame.
Thanks to Hans de Goede for his work in getting this digital photo frame
working!
Arthur.
