I get a lot of build errors when trying to make it. See the log file: http://mrcl.xs4all.nl/make-luvcview-20060706.log > Check out uvccapture (a headless webcam capture program based upon luvcview): > > + http://staticwave.ca/source/uvccapture/ Sounds great! After installing the jpeg libs I could build it and run it. But when I run it, it hangs after printing this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/download/uvccapture-0.4$ ./uvccapture -v Using videodevice: /dev/video0 Saving images to: snap.jpg Image size: 320x240 Taking snapshot every 0 seconds Taking images using mmap Resetting camera settings Camera brightness level is 127 Camera contrast level is 32 Camera saturation level is 32 Camera gain level is 0 When I press ctrl-C, it prints "Exiting...", but it still hangs. I can only kill the process. And no snap.jpg either... :-( Regards, Marcel _______________________________________________ Linux-uvc-devel mailing list Linux-uvc-devel@lists.berlios.de http://bat.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/linux-uvc-devel
