smartcam

Yonk · 2009-03-20 20:58:48

Hi everyone
Today i foudn this little piece of software called smartcam.
it turns you s60 mobile phone into a webcam via bluetooth or lan.
i installed the software on the phone downloaded the source and tried compiling following the instructions of the readme file.
sadly i didnt succed. i get errors (see below) and i'm not sure if they come from me using arch64 or from missing dependencies or what.
funny thing is ... the windows version of the software runs via wine ... but i'd really like to use the module.
hope someone can help.

Thanks in advance
Yonk

Get the patch from here:

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19222206/ … 27.1.patch

and try recompiling

Blue Peppers · 2009-03-21 23:38:50

And if you succeed, please make a AUR package of it. It doesn't take too long, and is extremely useful.

Оо · 2009-03-21 23:49:21

I'll make it within few minutes...

@edit: I am willing to make one, but I can't fully understand howto Any help lol?

Anyway, here's compiled smartcam.ko for you to use untill i figure out how to create package lol:

good luck and have fun with it

I'm not package king, but it should look somthing like this:

There are particular requirements for packages that provide kernel modules. Have a look at some relevant official packages e.g. nvidia, ndiswrapper, lirc, etc.

The wiki has a page on module packaging guidelines here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ker … Guidelines

The important bit, as far as I can see is this:

Guideline
When packaging such software (using the NVidia drivers as an example) the convention is:
* create an nvidia package containing just the kernel modules built for the vanilla kernel
* create an nvidia-utils package containing the supporting files
* make sure nvidia depends on nvidia-utils (unless there's a good reason not to do so)
* for another kernel like kernel26-mm, create nvidia-mm containing the kernel modules built against that kernel which provides nvidia and also depends on nvidia-utils
* make sure nvidia depends on the current major kernel version, for example:
depends=('kernel26>=2.6.24-2' 'kernel26<2.6.25-0' 'nvidia-utils')
Note that it is 2.6.24-2, not -1 in above example - this is because there was a configuration change to important kernel subsystem that required all modules to be rebuilt. You should always change depends version in such cases, otherwise some people with out-of-sync kernel and module version will report that module is broken.

hehe.. forgot to look for a wiki page. However, the install script requirements are not covered there, so check some examples as suggested above.

Yonk · 2009-03-23 10:30:22

so i managed to compile both the module and the app ...
but i get a segmentation fault when i try

insmod smartcam.ko

the app itself launches but gives an error message that it cant find the driver ... no surprise there.
the question now is ... is it because i am on arch64 or is something wrong with the module itself

maybe someone is interessted in my unfinished PKGBUILD:

pkgname=smartcam

#
#move the module to the appropriacte location etc ...

nice pkgbuild you got there...
Talking of modules, you'll have to modprobe videodev and compiled smartcam, as seen in README:

/sbin/modprobe videodev
/sbin/insmod smartcam.ko

and then try to run app.

You may add them to init if you're gonna use the app frequently or something.

Yonk · 2009-03-23 10:43:50

i did that
still doesnt work for me ...
it would be interessting if the problem is only 64bit related or if the same thing happens on 32bit.

[yonk@archlinux build]$ sudo /sbin/insmod smartcam.ko
[yonk@archlinux build]$ sudo /sbin/insmod src/smartcam/src/driver/smartcam.ko
Segmentation fault

Оо · 2009-03-23 10:45:56

Yonk, you've already inserted by doing it w/o the full path ( /sbin/insmod smartcam.ko )...

Yonk · 2009-03-23 10:50:58

copied the wrong line
should read

[yonk@archlinux build]$ sudo /sbin/modprobe videodev
[yonk@archlinux build]$ sudo /sbin/insmod src/smartcam/src/driver/smartcam.ko
Segmentation fault

since i didnt move the compiled files i assume i have to use the full path

Yonk · 2009-03-29 08:47:47

so i played around a little bit more but i still cant get the module loaded.
but i did switch to 2.6.29 from testing and i'm getting a new error from dmesg:

maybe now someone can tell me if theres a problem because i'm on 64bit or if it's competly module related. maybe some could build the package on 32bit and check it out?
i'll post the PKGBUILD just in case. (pls check if the module is placed in the right folder ... first time PKGBUILDer)

It will load if you uncomment line 603 of smartcam.c before compiling it. However, the userspace program won't run for me anyway.

Adding

sed 's/\/\/\t.release/\t.release/' -i smartcam.c

between patch and make in your PKGBUILD ought to do it.

kgas · 2009-06-15 15:58:01

If any one has the working PKGBUILD please post here. I would like to try it with Nokia 6120.

Thanks
