Install Yelp.
Another thing to add to the cheese page. I did install yelp-xsl. It
will take me a while as I don't yet have WebKitGTK and it's dependencies
built.
And I just found tout that WebKitGTK has a race condition with -j > 1.
We need to add that to the WebKitGTK page. That's unfortunate because
it takes so ling to build it.
What is the problem is that there is at least one generated .h file that
is needed before some .c programs are compiled and the Makefile does not
have the dependencies right. I've got this one still building right now.

" The Yelp package is not required for a functional GNOME Desktop. Note,
however, that without Yelp you will not be able to view the built-in
Help provided by core GNOME and many of the support applications. "
It's already in runtime category, not fun to add it as a dep to every
app, much like dconf, gnome-icon-theme*, gnome-themes-standard, etc ...
The problem here is that a user might not see that if building a
particular app. That's what I did. Perhaps we should create an include
or ENTITY top add to the pages that need it.
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?
You need a kernel driver for it. My built-in camera uses
CONFIG_USB_VIDEO_CLASS video driver (USB Video Class). Drivers for
cameras are in Drivers -> Multimedia. I don't know how to help more
here. To see if any driver claimed it, check if /dev/video0 exists
(given that there's only one camera) and gstreamer will take care of
"turning it on".
Yes, I have /dev/video0 and cheese has in Prefereces->Webcam "TOSHIBA
Web Camera (/dev/video0)" I just don't think that gstreameer is turning
it on. I'll google for that.
Come to think about it, I have an external Logitech camera that I've
never used. It has an external on/off switch. I'll try that.
Someone already mentioned, try installing v4l-utils and remember to
recompile ... um ... gst-plugins-good I think to get the right plugin.
Only (optional) dependency iirc should be Qt4 for some gui program.
I did check out the external Web Camera and it works fine. That means
that I've got cheese and gst* built correctly. It may be a driver
issue. Perhaps a new driver version or an option to an existing module
are needed for this laptop's camera.
This is mine:
[Settings]
gtk-icon-theme-name = gnome
gtk-theme-name = Adwaita
gtk-font-name = Cantarell 11
Yes, I changed to those and it works quite nicely. Thanks.
