VLoopback

Hi,

I want to use my DV camcorder as a V4L device, so I'm attempting to build and install vloopback. However, when I try to build it, I get this output:

kyle@kyle-desktop:~/Downloads/linux/vloopback-1.3$ make

I don't know much about modifying source code and stuff, and seeing as this package is no longer maintained, I don't know what to do. Anyone have any luck installing vloopback?

Re: VLoopback

According to the web site:

svn trunk for kernel version >= 2.6.32
vloopback-1.3.tar.gz : New stable version tested with stable version 2.6.31

Try using the svn version from the AUR and see if that will compile.

Just tried it, it gives the same error. I must be missing headers or something

Re: VLoopback

Do you have the kernel26-headers package installed?

Re: VLoopback

I do, but what else could be causing the compilation errors?

Re: VLoopback

There's a URL for a working PKGBUILD in the comments.  Grab that and you should be ok.

Re: VLoopback

That PKGBUILD worked. Thank you loafer.
