I have a webcam not supported by V4L. There is a hack driver available on sourceforge at:

cvs -dserver:anonymous@nw802.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nw802 login

cvs -z3 -dserver:anonymous@nw802.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nw802 co -P nw802-2.4

(home page: http://nw802.sourceforge.net/ )

however it fails when I try and run make on ubuntu 6.10 and I have no idea how to fix it - its a very small project. I need it building against 2.6.17-11-generic kernel

Any advise or preferably a build of the module would be *greatly* appreciated. make output is very long but basically fails with a number of errors such as:

usbvideo.c:88: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘mem_map_reserve’
usbvideo.c:89: error: ‘PAGE_SIZE’ undeclared (first use in this function)
usbvideo.c:125: error: ‘NULL’ undeclared (first use in this function)

Thanks,

Benjamin

It looks like that source code is for a 2.4 kernel. The website says there's a patch, but I didn't see one. You can try downloading the source from the Debian Unstable repositories and then compiling it from there. That's probably as close to Ubuntu as you're going to get since it's not in the Ubuntu repositories...

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/...x-nw802-source

Actually the cvs module says its 2.4 but it has a 2.6 patch in the checked out source. I noticed ubuntu warty has the source for it in the repo, so I'm hoping it exists as a pre built module somewhere.
