I repeated the steps mechanically ... I did not understand some of the
passages...
1- make sure kernel-source-2.6-2.6.12-12mdk is installed in the
computer;
2-Install libSDL1.2-devel-1.2.8-5mdk .It is present in the PowerPack
2006 installation disk;
3-download the driver at :
http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Investigation/Gspca/; I used
"gspca-20060831"
4-tar -xvzf gspca-20060831.tar.gz
5-go in the directory gspcav1 and , as root, run ./gspca_build
6-go back in the directory gspca-20060831/gspcagui and always as root
run
make
make install
7-connect webcam and run "gspcagui -d -/dev/video0";
from the "Remote Control" window press G and after a few minutes the
image will appear on screen
of course it works also with genomemeeting.
I have followed the instruction from the italian newsgroup post ,as the
READ_AND_INSTALL was too "intimidating"...
