Camstream...

Hi folks,

  Has anyone been able to get camstream to run on 13.37? 
<http://www.smcc.demon.nl/camstream/>

  I like this better than any other webcam app I've tried in the past years and 
the built-in ftp server makes it even better.

  I try to configure it and I get:

No Qt library/headers found! Either specify the correct path with --with-qt
or install the development package. Try 'apt-get install libqt3-mt-dev' on
Ubuntu, for example. Also make sure the multi-threaded, shared library
is installed.

Wow! That's old.

See if you can get Qt-3.3.7 or similar version as a package for Slackware
somewhere, or download it from Nokia here ( ftp://ftp.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/ ).
Hopefully you'll be able to build it.

Camstream says it needs Qt 2.3 or later - I'm not sure if 2.x and 3.x versions
are binary/source compatible. Qt 3.x and 4.x (used nowadays) are not.

Regards,
Srdjan

  Thanks for the suggestions, Srdjan. At that ftp site, should I get the 'x11' 
package? Also, how should I build it so that my system still uses the modern Qt 
that came with 13.37 and not the old version I want to have just for this app?

I would try this first:
http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.37/libraries/qt3/

That should have instructions on how to build it. Download the Qt3 source from
the link on that page, and the qt3.tar.gz slackbuild, then extract them and run
the script in the qt3.tar.gz file to create a slackware package.

It would be a lot easier than configuring and installing Qt manually.

Regards,
Srdjan

  Okay, I got the right/needed Qt package installed and ./configure finds it 
after I exported where it was. Now a new problem popped up during 'make'. I get 
this:

----------
In file included from common/AudioCollector.cpp:45:0:
common/../linux/AudioDeviceArts.h:28:19: fatal error: artsc.h: No such file or 
directory
compilation terminated.

Re: Camstream...

The author of Camstream suggests building with qt2.3.x not qt3, which 
could explain why development stopped in 2003.

http://www.smcc.demon.nl/camstream/

I looked around and discovered a program with the same name here, so it 
might do what you want it:

https://github.com/tonyg/camstream

Best,

Interestingly, the 0.27 source doesn't mention Arts at all...
Maybe try building with that and see if you have better luck?

  Well, that seemed to solve the build problem and camstream even started up, 
but it can't find the webcam. Sucks even worse that I got it to work in openSuSE 
11.3 somehow (though it's got a bad green tint to it that's too hard to actually

  Development stopped in '09 and Qt3 works.

  Not the same 'camstream'. Seems this one took the name since the other hasn't 
been done anything with lately or this developer just didn't know the name was 
already in use.

Wifi anomalies

Hello,

I'm new to the list. Being a slackware user since '95 I've always been kinda DIY but I am stumped...

I have an HP Pavilion G5 box that's been relegated to the basement by my better half. Seems I have a habit of collecting strays.

This box previously ran 13.0 with a Netgear WG311v3 (Marvell chip) wifi PCI card. No problems.

I formatted the drv and installed 13.37 and lots of problems.
I built the driver using ndiswrapper and initialized the card, no problem there.
I connected to the router, etc.
The trouble is hangups producing stale processes.
The connection drops and the system sees me as still logged in.
No rhyme or reason is immed. apparent. Sometimes I can scp large amounts of data (I'm a photographer), other times a text file will not make it.

I bought a DLink DWA-131 (Realtek chip) USB wifi card.
The system recognized it immediately, initializing it.
It could scan the network and see the router but not connect.
No problem, I've seen this before 13.37 - I used wicd and it worked fine.
But the dropped connections continue on this card too.

All of the wireless tools return sane values and all looks well.
Indeed, under 13.0 and the same Netgear card I had no problems.
But 13.37 is a different matter.

Has anyone seen this?
Any tips?

Sorry if this issue has been raised before.

greetings from NYC,
Tom
