The VideoLAN Forums

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.

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.

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.

That doc is very old and largely irrelevant.

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!
