Help on a PKGBUILD for Dv2Vloopback

http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Mo … 2Vloopback

This is a program that will enable you to use your camcorder as a v4l device.

To use it for Skype and so on.

Developer say simply:

#
dv2vlooopback
Download the source code from http://sourceforge.net/projects/dv2vloopback and:
make
sudo make install

Do the trick but i would like to do it with a package.

There is a vloopback PKGBUILD in AUR http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=3505
But this is outdatet and non functional for newer Dv2Vloopback.

Thanks for all help!!

Re: Help on a PKGBUILD for Dv2Vloopback

There is a PKGBUILD guide on wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD

But cause I am also interested by the package here is a PKGBUILD:

pkgname=dv2vloopback
pkgver=0.03
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="This is a program that will enable you to use your camcorder as a v4l device. "
arch=(x86_64 i686)
url="http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/Dv2Vloopback"
license=('GPL')
depends=(vloopback gd dvgrab)
source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/dv2vloopback/${pkgname}${pkgver}.tar.gz)

build() {
  cd "$startdir/src/${pkgname}${pkgver}"

  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR="$startdir/pkg" install
 
}

I can't test it right now, but if there is some errors they must be trivial to fix.

You can put it on AUR. If you don't want, I will make it.

For updating vloopback post a message on the AUR page about incompatibility with the new dv2vlooopback. For you personally you can get the PKGBUILD and change the version number.

Re: Help on a PKGBUILD for Dv2Vloopback

Thanks for your insructions but vloopback is not building... i think that DV2Vloopback is a replacement for vloopback but it isnt...

second is that i use bin32-skype...

dv4l can do the same thing as DV2Vloopback
Here is the AUR package:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24763

Re: Help on a PKGBUILD for Dv2Vloopback

It's not a problem. If you have 2.6.28 kernel you need vloopback 1.2. Get the PKGBUILD and change the version number. Look at the package page on the AUR. Somebody already published this solution.
