[ranaanmol]

hi.

i want to capture video from a usb camera attached to my TI based omap 3X ( ARm cortex cm t3530 eval kit (manufacturer compulab).

how shall i build vlc for this purpose. i am using fedora core 14. i am new to all this embedded work, please elaborate in detail.

thnx.

Please refer to the manufacturer documentation.

[ranaanmol]

there is no such doc by compulab.. they say refer to videolan for support and this does not fall in their support scope.

regards.

A normal VLC with v4l2 module should play webcams.

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

I mean toolchain documentation. VLC uses the GNU "standard" build system, not much particular about it.

how do i get the vlc player into my angstrom linux.

hi,

maybe you can't take a look at http://wiki.videolan.org/ARM-XCompile
it may help you.

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

That doc is very old and largely irrelevant.

[ranaanmol]

not able to find most of the files mentioned in http://wiki.videolan.org/ARM-XCompile

i am using ubuntu 11.04 on host pc and my kit works on kernel 2.6.32

it says

# linux-2.4.19.tar.bz2
# patch-2.4.19-rmk4.bz2

does it mean that i have to compile kernel 2.4.19 for the kit, or something else?

regards.

Did I already mention that this documentation was old and irrelevant? Oh yes!
