My first thought was to configure with --disable-plugins, but this resulted in following compile error: Compile normally but have libv4l-dev installed before. Personally, I use ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-oss --enable-v4l --disable-avc --disable-dc One of my students had this too (v4l plugin not compiled), I do not understand why. It seems it was solved by installing uvcvideo, but this is doubtful. /usr/src/packages/BUILD/ptlib-2.6.1/lib_linux_x86_64/obj2/sockets.o:/usr/src/packages/BUILD/ptlib-2.6.1/include/ptlib/object.h:1037: multiple definition of `creationMutex' /usr/src/packages/BUILD/ptlib-2.6.1/lib_linux_x86_64/obj2/vidinput_v4l.o:/usr/src/packages/BUILD/ptlib-2.6.1/src/../plugins/vidinput_v4l/vidinput_v4l.cxx:670: first defined here Another strange thing is that the v4l2 plugin isn't created with ptlib 2.6.1 any more.

Hi, Le dimanche 25 janvier 2009 à 15:10 +0100, Bent a écrit : Hi List With kernel 2.6.27 the spca driver for a lot of webcams, including the one I have got, was moved into the kernel.
