I've been trying to build a webcam driver for a friend who has
a LifeCam V-3000, which is not supported by ubuntu out of the
box. I have been reading the read me in the package, and the thread
on ubuntu forums, but I do not understand what is the problem.
I have installed the build essentials package.
Here is the error message that the build command generates:
can anyone tell me where my problem is and/or give me a clue
about where I need to look.
Thanks
Paul
