Hello,
I just installed Ubuntu 9.04, pd-ext 0.41.4 on my new Toshiba Qosmio F50-138 (GeForce 9700M GTS) and all works fine except the webcam with GEM. So i decided to download sources and compiled GEM with libv4l as describe at http://www.mail-archive.com/pd-list@iem.at/msg26631.html I have (./configure) :
[...]
LIBS : -lmpeg3 -ljpeg -ltiff -lGLU -lGL -lXext -lXext -lX11 -ldl -lz -lm -lpthread : -lftgl -L/usr/lib -lquicktime -lpthread -lm -lz -ldl -lquicktime -lpthread -lm -lz -ldl LDFLAGS : -shared -Wl,-export-dynamic
[...]
input-support use v4l : yes
[...]
GEM works fine after that, but [pix_video] still not work, i get in the Pd console : video driver 0: video4linux
So nothing about video4linux2 :( What can i do ?
it seems like configure does not recognize that you have libv4l installed.
if you want to compile Gem with native libv4l support, make sure that you also have the _development_ packages for libv4l installed ("libv4l-devel" or the like on rpm-based distros)
if you want to just use the LD_PRELOAD hack, then you won't see the "video4linux2" line when starting Gem but it should work anyhow...
