How to install SPCA50X under gphoto2


Hi,

I am getting spca5xx-v4l1goodbye.tar.gz from http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html and want to install this driver to support for my gphoto2. The reason is I think the driver of gphoto2 does not support my Aiptek mini Pen cam 1.3 correctly. For example when I type in gphoto2:

gphoto2 --camera "Aiptek Pencam" --port "usb:002,003" -a

then I find that the delete function is available:

Delete selected files on camera: yes
Delete all files on camera: yes

but when I type

gphoto2 --camera "Aiptek Pencam" --port "usb:002,003" -d
or
gphoto2 --camera "Aiptek Pencam" --port "usb:002,003" -D

it seems the commands are done but when check:

gphoto2 --camera "Aiptek Pencam" --port "usb:002,003" --list-files

I got the same file still there in the camera, not deleted !

So how should I get spca5xx-v4l1goodbye.tar.gz install properly and have it supports for gphoto2 ?

Thank you.

Hello, no I've not got this Cam to work Yes, I've experimented with the camera FS, but with no positive reults, by the way that was years ago Now I switched to Sony-S60 which is detected as USB mass storage.
