[SOLVED] - v4l-utils

Hans de Goede just released a new test release of v4l-utils which finally has info for my webcam to fix the inverted image problem.

The link is:  http://people.fedoraproject.org/~jwrdeg … est.tar.gz

Unfortunately he only gives instructions for ubuntu/fedora (seen here) http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/7622.html
Those instructions were meant for libv4l but are the same ones he emailed me with the link to v4l-utils.

Since we have libv4l in the official repos I tried using it's pkgbuild as the base for v4l-utils but I got stuck with the following error.

line 15: syntax error near unexpected token `|'

here is the pkgbuild I'm using: http://pastebin.com/Eqq5DPt2

Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] - v4l-utils

Could somebody explain this line to me?  I'm not sure what it's doing.

  sed -i 's|CFLAGS :=|CFLAGS ?=|' libv4l1/Makefile libv4l2/Makefile libv4lconvert/Makefile

This is the line causing issues.

Re: [SOLVED] - v4l-utils

your error is all caused by a missing '
at end of  this line md5sum=('0ec602167a5044ce1ee773e71524ac9f )

Also, you are not gonna be able to download your source as you want vl4l-utils-0.8.1-test.tar.gz  but your pkgbuild is calling for libv4l-utils-0.8.1-test.tar.gz  which does not exist on the D/L  page.

PLEASE read and try to FIX/FILE BUGS instead of assuming other have/will.
