ok, so is your webcam a UVC one ?

 

[asiridol]

[kosandpol]

yes i guess. how can i check that for sure?

Follow the article :

In order to know if your webcam is UVC capable you just need to open your shell and run:

lsusb

you will get something like this:

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 002: ID xxxx:yyyy "Your_Webcam_Model"
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Then type:

sudo lsusb -d xxxx:yyyy -v | grep "14 Video"

If you get something like the following, your webcam is UVC capable:

bFunctionClass 14 Video
bInterfaceClass 14 Video
bInterfaceClass 14 Video
bInterfaceClass 14 Video

If your webcam passes this test, you can go on reading. Otherwise, your camera needs to use propertary driver, because it doesn't use standard protocol/command.

run those commands in the command line terminal and see if the results match with the results they have given.

 

[asiridol]

yes. UVC capable

 

[kosandpol]

then follow the rest of the guide.

[kosandpol]

Give details on what you did.
From what folder did you run the make command ?

 

[asiridol]

asiri@asiri-laptop /windows/FOSS stuffs/trunk $ make uvcvideo

[kosandpol]

asiri@asiri-laptop /windows/FOSS stuffs/trunk $ make uvcvideo

Where in that guide does it say to run the command like that ??
The make command is given without any parameters to just compile. you give parameters only to Install, uninstall or clean (or other make parameters)

 

[asiridol]

i did that because i got this warning

-------------------------------- WARNING ---------------------------------------
The USB Video Class driver has moved to http://linuxtv.org/.

which means this guide is no longer valid. The upstream project has changed.
What's the complete output of lsusb -v for your camera ?

 

[asiridol]

machan.. how can select only to display camera details? output so long. and first parts can't be seen either.
