Hi,
im using Ubuntu 11.04 and just compiled GEM from sources. The old firewire stack was completely removed from this version of the system () however i see in a mail from June 2010 that:
in current trunk there is support for both the traditional DV1394 interface and the new juju stack ("videoDV4L" plugin)
How can i use this plugin ? With my firewire device connected i cant seem to make it work, no combination of [driver dv( [device /dev/fw1( [driver dv4l( etc .. doesnt work ..
Also the compilation was a bit of a pain: - had to remove Pixes/videoV4L.h include from pix_video.cpp - had to move Pixes/videoV4L.cpp away from the Pixes directory - had to edit Pixes/videoV4L2.h adding include <sys/types.h> and include <sys/stat.h> (found that somewhere on the net as a solution for some compilation for maverick)
Maybe i should report these somehow differently ? Anyway im really interested in making my dv device work as fast as possible - how can i use it ? This will be helpfull also for the other people who will switch to Natty soon ..
thanks a lot,
