Not sure if you passed the  --enable-vp8 to the configure line for

just a stab in the dark on my part. :)

It does not seem to be necessary.  I just used the instructions in the
book and I do have

$ ldd `which vpxdec`
         linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff9c155000)
         libvpx.so.1 => /usr/lib/libvpx.so.1 (0x00007f3d23bc6000)
         libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007f3d238c2000)
         libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f3d236a4000)
         libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f3d232f6000)
         /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f3d23fce000)

$ vpxdec
Usage: vpxdec <options> filename
...
Included decoders:

     vp8    - WebM Project VP8 Decoder v1.3.0
     vp9    - WebM Project VP9 Decoder v1.3.0

gstreamer-1.2.x vpx decored is part of gst-plugins-good. It was moved
from gst-plugins-bad-1.0.x iirc. libvpx should be added as a recommended
dep to gst-plugins-good-1.2.x instead of gst-plugins-bad-1.2.x.

Thanks. I got another message that said essentially the same thing. Rebuilding in the correct order got rid of the error message.

Now I don't get the error message. Unfortunately, cheese still doesn't work for me. I have a black window. Actually, there are several problems.

The only menu item is "Cheese" and that has submenu items: Fullscreen, Preferences, Help, About, and Quit. Help doesn't work. I get the message:

** Message: cheese-application.vala:478: Error opening help: Operation not supported

I'm not sure what this means. I'll note here that I have not yet built any browser for this system. If that's all it takes, I can do that. Does anyone know how the help system works?

More importantly, I get a black window and some greyed out controls.

It may be that the camera has to be turned on. This is a built in camera on the laptop and I don't know how to turn it on and off if that is indeed the problem. Can anyone help in this area?

I also have to look very closely for the controls but that may be the theme. I can experiment with themes to see if I can change visibility.

One last thing is that the preferences drop down boxes look weird. This may also be a theme issue.
