FindPkgConfig vs. PKGCONFIG

iochinome · 04-02-2009, 05:35 PM

So i am trying to install libwebcam. whenever i tell the terminal
sudo cmake ..

it does it, apparently, but then tells me:
WARNING: you are using 'PKGCONFIG' macro use FindPkgConfig

and for some other reasons, my installation is not working. how do i install the new, non-obsolete one, or is this not even a problem?

thanks!

first (1)what linux distro are you using (2)and what version of auto tools and cmake are installed
(3) what version of libwebcam is it
http://www.quickcamteam.net/software/libwebcam
svn
libwebcam 0.1.1
or what

well, the linux distro is ubuntu 8.10, the kernel is 2.6.27-11-generic and i have libwebcam-0.1.1

does that help?

thanks!

The warning is just a peculiarity ( a bug ? ) with 'cmake-2.6.0'
( later cmake versions don't do it ). Not an error, just a warning.

If you want to try out a later version of libwebcam, ( 0.17 ? )
please do the command
svn co http://svn.quickcamteam.net/svn/qct/Linux/
getting you a folder Linux/ in your "/home/<username>

And please use Google, keyword .. libwebcam linux ..(or .. libwebcam ubuntu ..)
and find
