I found it in cauldron, and this is how to install it on Mageia 1
What i like about it is that it is efficient in screen estate, it can take snapshots, and it can record to file.
start it simply by just "luvcview" but may also be started with option on i.e resolution "luvcview -s 1280x1024" is max res for my USB microscope, and i put it in an program start link on desktop. --help option will guide you.
How to install it on Mageia 1
Get current source rpm of luvcview. I fetched
ftp://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/mageia/dist ... a2.src.rpm
Rebuild it for mga1 and install:
- Code: Select all
# su -
# urpmi SDL-devel (needed during rpmbuild)
# rpmbuild --rebuild /path/to/luvcview-0.2.6-1.mga2.src.rpm
# urpmi ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/luvcview-0.2.6-1.mga1.x86_64.rpm
EDIT: I forgot to say it need v4l; Video for Linux, which i already had installed. /EDIT
