Re: Droidcam not work.

Hello everybody. I have modified the official install script to make it work on my Arch installation. Some people have their own modified script, i'm not sure if is the same as I have, however, i will put here the script for those who reach this post looking for a solution. Remember to install

android-tools

first to make it work under USB.

The script:

cd /tmp/
sudo pacman -S linux-headers
bits=`getconf LONG_BIT`
wget https://www.dev47apps.com/files/600/droidcam-${bits}bit.tar.bz2
[[ ${bits} -eq 32 ]] && checksum=b4b4bb43a4e4a46aab2c1b38cd0892c3
[[ ${bits} -eq 64 ]] && checksum=743b71f1af4d90b5ced59c02fcbc925f
echo "${checksum} droidcam-${bits}bit.tar.bz2" | md5sum -c --
# OK?
tar xjf droidcam-${bits}bit.tar.bz2
cd droidcam-${bits}bit/
sudo ./install

You can save this in a file named, for example:

DroidCamInstaller.sh

Locate the console working directory at the same location of the archive, for example, if you created the file under the Downloads directory, use

cd /home/$USER/Downloads

Then make it executable with

chmod +x DroidCamInstaller.sh

Finally, run it with

sudo ./DroidCamInstaller.sh

This has worked for me perfect.

Best regards.

Re: Droidcam not work.

Thanks for sharing, GTRONICK. However this topic is old, and it's unlikely BOOMstick is still looking for a solution.

Closing.
