Hallo,

as the old VamView is not longer working under recent Distros I made a 
CamView Widget for GladeVCP.

Here is the Branch:

http://git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=linuxcnc.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/gladeVCP_camview

I am asking for help, because a merge will require some additional installs:

opencv cv2, min version 2.3 required!
on Whessy and Jessie just do : apt-get install python-opencv
on Ubuntu 10.04 you will have to build from source
see: 
http://docs.opencv.org/2.4/doc/tutorials/introduction/linux-install.html

v4l2-ctl must be installed
sudo apt-get install v4l2-utils

The camera must be recognized by v4l2,
to test that I do recommend to install qv4l2
apt-get install qv4l2
start from terminal with qv4l2

How can we handle that, as not every user will need a camera on his 
machine, so the additional installs are not needed.
Just a note in the GladeVCP documents?
Change my code to advice users who want to use the widget, that 
additional parts are needed?

What do you recommend?

And what name to use, as CamView is already the name of the old camera 
integration?

Norbert
